Mr George Krasopoulos

Mr George Krasopoulos was awarded the title of Hon. Senior Clinical Lecturer in Cardiac Surgery from the University of Oxford in 2015.

He finished his surgical training in England and specialised in cardiothoracic surgery within the East London Rotation (NTN – Royal Brompton, St. Mary’s, St Bartholomew’s & London Chest Hospitals of London). He gained his PhD in 1999 and undertook a fellowship alongside Prof. Tirone David in Toronto, Canada, where he sub-specialised in advanced aortic repairs and reconstructive cardiac surgery.

Mr Krasopoulos tends to favour minimally access, cosmetic approaches for the performance of all regular cardiac surgical procedures.

He advocates the use of multiple arterial grafts to perform coronary artery bypass surgery (by-pass) with or without the use of extracorporeal circulation (beating heart). He has experience in advanced techniques of aortic aneurysm and can offer surgical treatment to patients suffering from atrial fibrillation.

He remains an active member of the Oxford Heart Centre TAVI team with sub-specialty interest in transapical and transaortic TAVI implantation techniques.

His philosophy is based on providing surgical, medical and humanitarian services of the highest standards. He believes in the development of quality health services and devotes much of his time making sure that patients receive what they are entitled to: effective medical and surgical care, safety, dignity and respect.
