About

Mr. Christopher Young is a highly esteemed cardiovascular surgeon with extensive experience, having successfully completed nearly 10,000 heart operations. Recently, Christopher transitioned from his role as a consultant at St Thomas’ Hospital to focus primarily on the private sector. He currently serves as the senior lead for Cardiovascular Services across all of HCA Healthcare UK, dedicating his clinical expertise to London Bridge Hospital.

Christopher specializes in the treatment of conditions related to the aortic valve, aortic aneurysms, and coronary bypass surgery. His services include:

  • Minimally Invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass (MIDCAB)
  • Minimally Invasive Aortic and Mitral Valve Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Aortic Aneurysm Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Heart Rhythm Surgery (in selected cases)

With a background spanning 24 years in keyhole heart surgery, Christopher has demonstrated remarkable proficiency. Last year, he performed all of his valve operations using minimally invasive techniques, and in over 80% of aneurysm cases. This stands in stark contrast to the national average in the UK, where only 13.8% of aortic valve surgeries were conducted through keyhole methods.

Additionally, Christopher has served as an international trainer, imparting his expertise to over 400 clinicians in the past decade. He engages in global lectures, live surgical training, and mentors aspiring surgeons to develop their proficiency in minimally invasive procedures.

Christopher expresses his enthusiasm for this type of surgery, highlighting its significant benefits for patients. He emphasizes the reduced surgical impact and rapid recovery associated with keyhole incisions, stating, “We can do so much through keyhole incisions. The reduced surgical impact of this approach is huge for the patients with them bouncing back to health so much more quickly.”

Explanation

My experience with Mr Christopher Young and his Senior Medical Secretary, Pamela Stewart was outstanding. Mr Young is a highly experienced and accomplished surgeon, in whom I had complete confidence. At my first consultation, he clearly explained the options available to me and gave me his considered advice, which I was content to take. The procedure went very well, and I am recovering very satisfactorily. Most importantly my heart is working more efficiently I have been energised by the whole experience.

Very clear explanation of the rationale for needing to have procedure (given I had no symptoms) and very reassuring in terms of the risks of the procedure itself and the prognosis.

Explanation

I found Mr Young excellent in all respects of his treatment. I was required to have open heart surgery at short notice and he instilled confidence throughout the whole process of pre-op and post-op. I had no symptoms ahead of the operation so the whole thing was a bit of shock. Some 10 months later I feel fit and well. At age 71 I am enjoying life and skiing better than before my operation. While I don’t think the improvement is down to the operation the fact I am still here to do is !

From the moment I met Mr. Young, I felt in safe hands. From pre-operation guidance and care to the hospital stay, every detail was meticulously planned. Most importantly, all of this was done with a human touch. Mr. Young and his team leave nothing to chance ! I would also like to thank his assistant Ms. Stewart who has been very kind to me.

Dr.Young was very clear and direct when providing me details about my options without forcing his opinion. In the end the choice for me was obvious, but it was my choice. My surgery went well, which is of course the main thing, and all of the post surgical communications were good. I would certainly recommend Dr. Young to others.
