Research Interest

Mr Bahrami also performs coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) through a mini incision on the side of the chest while the heart is beating (called off-pump CABG) rather than using a heart bypass machine. In 2007 he performed the first double-lung transplant from a non-heart beating donor.
