Heart Clinic London
The Keyhole Heart Clinic
Learning that you need open heart surgery can be a daunting experience in itself, never mind the fact that you are likely to be told that you need your breast bone split, and that it will take 3 months to heal. Mr Inderpaul Birdi is a heart surgeon based in London. He and the team at The Keyhole Heart Clinic have been performing heart surgery for more than 20 years using keyhole approaches without breaking your breastbone, meaning that the cuts we make heal in days, are cosmetically more appealing, cause less pain and infection, so that you can get back to your life much quicker.
Our professional and experienced team at The Keyhole Heart Clinic provide advice and treatment to those with heart conditions, including blocked arteries and valve disorders. Whether you require a consultation to discuss keyhole heart surgery as an option for yourself, or you would like a second opinion to get reassurance about your treatment choices, we can ensure you get the help you need. With our team lead by a highly experienced cardiothoracic surgeon, Mr Inderpaul Birdi, specialising in minimally invasive heart surgery, you can be sure that you are in the best hands at our clinic.

No breastbone division
Keyhole heart surgery London is completed through small incisions to the chest or groin by Mr Birdi and his skilled team, rather than necessitating a full breastbone division.
Less Recovery Time
Because traditional heart surgery included breastbone division (and, on top of heart surgery, you are essentially dealing with a broken bone), it is a major surgery, and requires a long time to heal. With keyhole surgery, it is much more minimally invasive, and as such does not take months to recover from – instead, you should completely be back to ‘normal life’ within a few weeks.
Smaller & more subtle scarring
Because keyhole heart surgery only requires a few small incisions (and sometimes none at all), the cosmetic result is much more superior. Scarring is minimal and is coverable, meaning you can wear your normal clothes with no alterations necessary. With breastbone division, you will usually be left with a 12-inch scar, whereas with keyhole surgery, it will only be around 3 inches long.
No risk of bone infection
Because keyhole heart surgery London does not require bones to be broken, there is no risk of bone infection compared to a 3-4% chance of bone infection with breastbone break.
Heal within 7 days
Due to the minimally invasive nature of keyhole surgery, the wound should heal within a week rather than 12 weeks after breastbone break.
Less Pain
The fact no bones are broken during the surgery means you will experience less discomfort during recovery.
