Sir Brian Gerald Barratt-Boyes of the Kirklin and Barratt-Boyes fame, whose textbook even today remains a cardiac surgeon’s bible, was one of the early pioneers from the unit.
It was here I expanded my exposure in Heart Lung Transplants including subspecialty training in lung transplant at the Toronto-Vienna Lung Transplant Academy and hands-on training at Vienna General Hospital ( under the aegis Prof. Walter Klepetko and Prof Konrad Hoetzenecker)

- Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion - training on both Scandinavian and Toronto protocol
- Extensive ECMO Experience
ELSO 101 Certification
Exclusively working in an ELSO ICU
Post cardiotomy ECMO
eCPR
pre-transplant ECMO
ECMO transport
ECMO retrievals
remain some of the forte from my training
