Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery
For two decades, Mr Pick has been refining techniques for minimal access Aortic, Mitral and Thoracic surgery
Some Insights
For over 20 years, I have been refining techniques for minimal access Aortic, Mitral and Thoracic surgery. My training was completed at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, followed by an advanced fellowship with Professor Tirone E David at the Toronto General Hospital. Additional expertise required visits to Belgium, Italy, England and the United States. I now proctor internationally in order to share my knowledge and further improvement in all areas of minimal access and open cardiac and thoracic surgery.
What we do
Atrial Fibrillation
Now a pandemic in the Western Word, AF has long been poorly recognised and poorly treated. My modern techniques allow for very effective minimally invasive treatment options
Aortic Surgery
There’s been significant change in available treatments for aortic pathology. Valve replacement can be performed through Minimally Invasive incisions. TAVI provides the least invasive and ultimate solution.
Mitral Valve Surgery
Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery can allow >90% of valves to be repaired and, where necessary, replaced without the need for sternotomy.
Thoracic Surgery
Keyhole techniques allow for major surgical resections and almost all procedures to be performed without the need for rib spreading or division of muscle. Recovery is significantly enhanced using these techniques.
Interstitial Lung Disease Surgery
The interstitium of the lung is the space between the capillaries and the alveoli, which supports the exchange of gases between the air we breathe and our blood supply,
Minimally Invasive Thoracoscopy
World Class Technique
A pioneer and leader in minimal access surgery, Mr Pick has a highly sought after commanding and erudite expertise and surgical technique.
Rapid Nodule Assessment Scheme
A complex algorithm has been devised to evaluate the individual risk for developing primary pulmonary malignancy. Major risk factors are age and smoking history.
