Mr Roberto Casula was ppointed as Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Imperial College London NHS Trust in 2020.
Roberto has been an NHS Consultant Surgeon since appointed at Imperial College in 2001.
He is highly experienced in performing traditional and key-hole heart procedures and led successfully the Robotic Cardiac Surgical program at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington in 2003-2009 and following the relocation of the cardiac services to Hammersmith Hospital he started and has directed the Minimal access valves and revascularisation cardiac program at The Hammersmith Hospital from 2010 to date at Imperial College, London.
He was the first surgeon to perform robotic totally endoscopic minimally invasive heart procedures in the UK in 2003.
Mr Casula began his medical education in Italy graduating from Padova University Medical School in 1989. He then went on to train in the UK in cardiac, thoracic surgery and thoracic organs transplantation.
He is currently registered with the General Medical Council and is a fellow for the Royal College of Surgeons in England.
Over more than 20 years, he has consistently offered minimally invasive procedures to his patients such as coronary revascularisation, mitral, tricuspid valve repair and replacements, minimal access aortic valve replacements and minimal access surgical or hybrid atrial fibrillation ablation.
His work and achievenmsts extend beyond the UK, and has been invited as a visiting surgeon to many prestigious institutions in Milan, Bologna, Bari, Florence, Pisa, Udine, Athens, the Middle East and the West Indies to eprfoim and proctor other surgeons in minimal access and robotic opertaions.
He has performed over 7000 major cardiac surgeries.
He has a keen academic interest, being published by the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery regularly. His main research interests centre around new surgical technology and innovation, robotics and assessments of elderly frailty. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles and a textbook on minimally invasive thoracic and cardiac surgery.
Mr Casula would be delighted to give a second opinion to those patients that have been told that traditional operations are the only course of action for their case since minimial access surgery could be in fact the most appropriate strategy for them.

Mr Roberto Casula exhibits a professional, calm, caring, and reassuring manner with patients. He provides clear explanations, helping patients feel confident about their treatment and healing. His skill brings successful operations and quick recovery. Patient feedback highlights his expertise in valve repair or replacement operations, heart bypass surgery, and minimally invasive heart surgery.
Clear explanation of the underlying medical concerns with the merit of each surgical option confidently explained and weighted against each other to enable assured decision on the best way to proceed.
Once my problems had been diagnosed Mr Casula explained that the longer I waited the hoped for improvements would be more difficult to realise, but that the decision was entirely mine. It wasn't difficult for me to agree to the procedure, and Mr Casula arranged a date as soon as possible. I was admitted to hospital on 11th August for a Mitral Valve Replacement, a Tricuspid Valve repair and left Atrial Appendage treatment. I already had great confidence in Mr Casula and that was reinforced by meeting him before the procedure and his chosen anaesthetist. I knew exactly what was going to happen, "no surprises" and looked forward to a good result. Not only is Mr Casula a highly skilled surgeon but he is so approachable and takes the time to treat you as an individual. As a result the procedures were successful and I was discharged from hospital after six days (not the anticipated eight) I was told by my wife and son that they received a very full debrief afterwards and Mr Casula answered any questions. I am already feeling my strength return. I would encourage anyone who is diagnosed with symptoms not to delay but get Mr Casula to proceed .
Mr Casula was excellent, helpful. He explained everything & discussed my succeful robotic bypass, the great progress I've already made in 6 weeks. We talked of my plan moving forward. I left feeling very confident. Thank you Mr Casula
Mr Casula has always been very clear in his explanations of what is to happen and what is happening, providing great reassurance. The consultation was very helpful and provided a clear structure for ongoing maintenance and progress
I felt in very safe hands with Mr Robert Casula. He communicated with me extremely well. The operation went very smoothly. I have nothing but praise for him & his team.
I was incredibly fortunate to be referred to Mr Carsula by another cardiologist. Unfortunately when they tried to fix my issues with Stents there was too much blocking and damage. (My diagnosis was extreme calcification of all three coronary arteries) I had virtually no symptoms and am otherwise a healthy very active and physically fit 60 yr old., cycling 300 miles + a month. Walking 3-4 miles every day, skiing, golfing and coaching sport. Once the diagnosis was confirmed Mr Casula and his team quickly put a plan in place to perform triple heart bypass surgery. The operation and procedure was explained very well and during the pre operative
During my recent visit, Mr Casula checked how my heart had recovered after the operation. He kindly asked how I was feeling after the operation and also answered all the questions I had about the current state of my heart. I’m very pleased with this visit. My heart is now back to normal and all my test results are good. I’m deeply grateful to Mr Casula and his team for saving my valve. Mr Casula is a brilliant professional who has helped me become healthier, and now I can enjoy my life without any heart problems.
When I first met Mr Casula, I felt immediate confidence in his ability. He explained the options for my surgery in a clear concise manner, in terms I could easily understand. He took the time to answer all my questions. On the day of my surgery, he confirmed the plan for the operation and again answered all my question clearly. Mr Casula went to great lengths to ensure the operation was completed in a minimally invasive manner. His after care has been excellent. From my own experience, I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Mr Casula for heart surgery.
I am incredibly grateful to Mr Roberto Casula for the care and expertise he provided in performing my aortic valve replacement. The outcome has been excellent, and I feel very fortunate to have been under his care. From the very first consultation, he was calm, clear, and reassuring, taking the time to answer all my questions and explain everything thoroughly. This made a huge difference in what was understandably a daunting experience. The surgery and follow-up care were seamless, and I always felt I was in safe hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone needing this type of procedure.
Excellent cardiac surgeon
