Mr Toufan Bahrami
Consultant Cardiac Surgeon
Mr Bahrami is a consultant cardiac surgeon at Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals, specialising in minimally invasive and endoscopic mitral, aortic and coronary surgery — valves repaired or replaced through small incisions rather than opening the chest. He trained at the Pitié-Salpêtrière in Paris, where he placed first in the French national specialisation examination, and worked with Professors Alain Carpentier — the pioneer of modern mitral valve repair — and Sir Magdi Yacoub. He is the only UK surgeon recognised by Edwards for the Harpoon beating-heart mitral repair, a recognised trainer for Edwards Lifesciences and BISMICS, and runs regular consultant courses in Geneva. In his own practice, his mitral repair rate is 99% with operative mortality under 1%.
