I recieved the very best possible care from Mr Bittar and the wonderful team he has with him, he takes the greatest to get the very best treatment for each individual patient. I would say to you need have no worries about the treatment from Mr.Bittar and his team in Blackpool their expertise and care will help you safely though the operation.
Mr Bittar was a general kind man. He was honest and said he had not come across my condition before, said he'd had to do some research into it. He explained the procedure he would carry out and mentioned the importance of the anaesthetist and risks involved.
I was reasurd by the consultant I was under at RPH that Mr Bittar was one of the best in dealing with cardio related ops in the region.
Mr Bittar is a dedicated consultant who came to check on my progress whilst I stayed at Blackpool Vic.
I received excellent care from Mr Bittar and his team and Blackpool Victoria, they are a credit to the NHS.
I was under the care of Mr Bittar in March 2016. He made me feel completely at ease and 100% confident that I was in the right hands.
I have made great recovery thanks to his superb skills and I will be forever grateful to have been in his care.
Having received surgery by Mr Bittar I can recommend the care received by him an his team. Procedures were explained clearly and I was made to feel valued throughout my time in their care
Profile
I am a cardiothoracic surgeon, my practice is mixed. In cardiac surgery I have a special interest in aortic surgery, minimally invasive aortic surgery, I also perform the general cardiac operations ( CABG, OPCAB and valve surgery). In thoracic surgery, I deal with chest wall, lung, pleural and mediastinal surgical diseases. I have special interest in the minimally invasive approach (video assisted thoracoscopic procedures-VATS lobectomy) and fractured ribs fixation.
I am interested in research; my qualification is a Medical Doctorate M.D. from Manchester University in 2007. My thesis was based on inflammatory response to the use of cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. This response was linked to certain genotypes of a certain polymorphisms.
My current affiliation is with the University of Salford, I am collaborating with researchers studying the myocardial cell dysfunction, the inflammatory response and its effect on the conduits that used in cardiac surgery.Recently I was appointed as a professor (Hon)@ the University of Salford.
