Mr Venkatachalam Chandrasekaran
Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon
FRCS (CTh) FRCS (Glasgow) MCh (CTh) MS MBBS
I came to the UK in 1989 and trained under Professor Sir Magdi Yacoub at Harefield Hospital. I have been working as consultant cardiac surgeon at St George’s Hospital since 1999.
I have a caring and compassionate approach to patients and have excellent outcomes year after year. I specialise in beating heart coronary bypass grafts; mitral valve repair, including minimally invasive techniques; atrial fibrillation surgery; aortic valve and surgery of the aorta, including arch surgery. I am renowned for doing high-risk complex surgery involving multiple procedures.
