I am a consultant cardiac surgeon and heart surgeon in Oxford at the John Radcliffe Hospital, part of the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

I undertake almost all varieties of adult cardiac surgery excluding transplant. This includes coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aortic valve replacement (AVR), heart valve surgery and complex cardiac surgery. My special interest is mitral valve surgery, especially mitral valve repair and minimally invasive mitral valve surgery.

Patients looking for specialist advice about heart surgery can find information here about various heart surgery procedures.

Mr Vivek Srivastava sees NHS and private patients for various conditions including mitral regurgitation, aortic valve disease, coronary artery disease, heart tumours, rhythm problems and various combinations of these conditions.

Common heart operations include mitral valve repair, mitral valve replacement, aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Some of these operations can also be carried out via a 'key hole' approach, also called minimally invasive cardiac surgery, in which Vivek has a special interest.

Vivek has special expertise in mitral valve surgery especially valve repair, which is usually considered better than replacement with an artificial heart valve.

Vivek can advise on these conditions including various treatment options, details of surgery including the procedure, benefits and risks with surgery, and recovery after surgery. Apart from first time consultations, Vivek can also provide second opinions. He can accept self-referrals from patients and referrals from cardiologists, GPs and via other specialists.
