I had lung surgery in July 2019 and so thankful to professor Bittar. He is a empathetic doctor who understands his patients. He uses simple communication skills, without terminology enabling his patients to understand what is happening to them. He is an ambassador for Blackpool trust and I hope higher management appreciate what a wonderful doctor they have working for them. The care and treatment I received from the team was of the highest standard THANK YOU

In the last few months I have gone from feeling fit, well and without any symptoms to receiving an out of the blue diagnosis of a significant aortic root aneurysm. I was seen as a private patient by Professor Bittar on the Lancashire Suite at Blackpool Victoria hospital and underwent surgery to not only repair the aneurysm but also replace a valve along with a coronary artery bypass (hat trick or what!). Throughout I have nothing but positive things to say about the care I received; everything was explained concisely; I was kept informed of what was happening and the outcomes and had full trust in Professor Bittar and the nursing team. I am forever indebted!

I saw Prof. Bittar today 9 weeks after he performed a Triple Heart By-Pass Operation on me, On meeting Mr Bittar for the first time prior to surgery I felt totally relaxed and at ease and trusted him completely, After the operation he came every day to see me and at weekend too, he was always ready to answer my questions and extremely kind. His team are all to be commended both in CCU and ward 39. I cant praise him highly enough a true gentleman for one so busy to be able to stop and take the time to listen. I thank him profusely for making me feel whole again.

Specialises in

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.
