George Asimakopoulos

Consultant Cardiac Surgeon

MD, PhD, FRCS (Eng. & C/Th), GMC number 4073628

Mr Asimakopoulos works at the Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospital NHS Trust in London, a world-renowned centre for the treatment of heart and lung disease. He treats patients at both the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals which have now merged with Guys & St. Thomas NHS Trust.

He specialises in aortic surgery, aortic valve surgery, Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) and has significant experience in re-operative (‘re-do’) procedures. He provides a patient focused service and believes that patients should be assisted to fully understand their condition and to participate in the final decision making.

Mr Asimakopoulos practices techniques such as off-pump CABG, minimal access aortic valve replacement and sutureless aortic valve replacement which provides more treatment choice and are beneficial for many patients.

He also has a strong interest in investigating the outcomes of surgery and training younger surgeons who wish to widen their practice.
