I have nothing but the greatest admiration for Professor Bittar. He operated on me when I needed a heart valve replacement and a triple by-pass. Thanks to the Professor’s expertise, I am making a good recovery from major surgery.
My thanks again to Professor Bittar for his care and professionalism at all times.

I needed heart valve replacement and aortic surgery which was complicated through infection and kidney failure.
The cardiac team at Blackpool helped me a through a difficult period with care and professionalism. They saved my life. I am indebted to all the team. Thank you all.

I would like to comment on how fantastic my treatment has been at Blackpool Victoria Hospital.
From arrival, I was greeted by a very friendly member of staff who was obviously very dedicated to their job.
My consultations with Professor Bittar prior to my surgery were very clear, friendly and put me at total ease regarding the procedure.
The aftercare has been excellent. Despite how (understably) difficult it was, not being able to be visited by my daughters, other family members and friends, the staff and other patients made my stay at hospital more comfortable. This care also placed my family and friends at ease.
My aftercare has been amazing, with regular follow-ups and tests/scans to ensure my health is improving.
I cannot praise Professor Bittar,his team and all NHS staff enough for their dedication, caring and professionalism during my whole medical process.
Kind regards

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.
