Summary
The cardiac surgery programme provides about 600 operations per year but is looking to expand that to 1200 per annum. Cardiac theatres at QEHB consist of three modern, custom-built suites providing elective and emergency anaesthesia across a whole range of adult cardiac surgery including device support for heart failure and heart and lung transplantation. The department also has well established adult congenital heart disease surgery, major aortic surgery, carcinoid heart disease surgery and Cath lab based intervention and diagnostic services.
