Dmytro Babliak, MD, PhD

Cardiac surgeon specializing in minimally invasive cardiac surgery. The cardiac surgery center I represent is

among the leading institutions in Ukraine in the development and implementation of minimally invasive approaches

across the full spectrum of adult and congenital cardiac surgery.

Our areas of expertise include:

• Aortic valve and aortic root surgery (AVR, AV repair, root procedures): J-shaped ministernotomy or right

anterior minithoracotomy

• Mitral and tricuspid valve surgery (repair and replacement), ASD, VSD, and Tetralogy of Fallot repair:

right lateral minithoracotomy

• Coronary artery bypass grafting (TCRAT technique): left anterior minithoracotomy

• Congenital cardiac surgery: right axillary minithoracotomy

I have participated in more than 2,000 cardiac surgical procedures, including:

• Over 800 minimally invasive CABG procedures (TCRAT)

• Over 250 minimally invasive mitral valve procedures

• Over 200 minimally invasive aortic valve procedures

• Numerous minimally invasive congenital cardiac procedures

Over the past years, I have independently performed:

• TCRAT coronary artery bypass grafting

• Mitral valve repair and replacement

• Aortic valve replacement

• ASD repair

• PAPVC repair

• Complex combined procedures through minithoracotomy approaches, including:

• AVR + CABG

• MV repair + CABG

• AVR + MVR/r + TVR/r

• AVR, MVR/r + TVr + CABG

Additional technical expertise includes:

• More than 600 peripheral cannulations for cardiopulmonary bypass

• Internal mammary artery harvesting through left anterior thoracotomy (300+ cases)

• Endoscopic radial artery harvesting (160+ cases)

• Endoscopic vein harvesting (150+ cases)
