Dr. Faisal Mourad

Dr. Faisal Mourad is a highly respected cardiothoracic surgeon with over 24 years of comprehensive clinical experience in the diagnosis and surgical management of complex heart and chest conditions. He is widely recognized for his expertise in minimally invasive cardiac surgery, advanced aortic and valve procedures, and off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery, combining surgical precision with the latest evidence-based techniques.

Dr. Mourad’s medical journey reflects a strong academic foundation and continuous professional development. He earned his Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBBS) in 2000, followed by a Master’s degree in Cardiothoracic Surgery in 2004, and later completed his Doctorate (MD) in Cardiothoracic Surgery in 2010 from Ain Shams University, Egypt, one of the region’s most prestigious medical institutions. In addition, he holds Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS), England, underscoring his international training and adherence to global surgical standards.

Areas of Specialization

Dr. Faisal Mourad specializes in a wide spectrum of cardiac and thoracic surgical procedures, including both traditional open surgeries and advanced minimally invasive techniques. His key areas of expertise include:

• Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (Keyhole surgery)

• Aortic surgery

• Heart valve repair and replacement

• Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB)

• Congenital heart defect repair in adults

• Chest trauma and thoracic injuries

• Lung cancer surgery

His patient-centered approach focuses on achieving optimal outcomes while minimizing surgical trauma, shortening recovery time, and improving long-term quality of life.

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (Keyhole Surgery)

One of Dr. Mourad’s core strengths is minimally invasive cardiac surgery, also known as keyhole heart surgery. This advanced technique allows heart operations to be performed through small incisions instead of the traditional full sternotomy.

Benefits of minimally invasive surgery include:

• Reduced postoperative pain

• Lower risk of infection

• Shorter hospital stay

• Faster recovery and return to normal activities

• Improved cosmetic results

Dr. Mourad carefully evaluates each patient to determine whether minimally invasive techniques are suitable, ensuring safety without compromising surgical effectiveness.

Aortic Surgery

Dr. Faisal Mourad has extensive experience in aortic surgery, addressing life-threatening conditions such as:

• Aortic aneurysms

• Aortic dissections

• Aortic valve-related pathologies

These procedures require exceptional precision due to the critical nature of the aorta. Dr. Mourad utilizes advanced imaging, meticulous planning, and modern surgical strategies to manage both elective and emergency aortic cases with high success rates.

Heart Valve Surgery

Valve disease is a major focus of Dr. Mourad’s practice. He performs both valve repair and valve replacement surgeries for conditions affecting:

• Aortic valve

• Mitral valve

• Tricuspid valve

Whenever possible, valve repair is prioritized to preserve the patient’s natural valve and optimize heart function. In cases where replacement is necessary, Dr. Mourad selects the most appropriate mechanical or biological valve based on patient age, lifestyle, and medical condition.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

Dr. Mourad is highly skilled in coronary artery bypass graft surgery, particularly off-pump CABG, which is performed without the use of a heart-lung machine.

Advantages of off-pump CABG include:

• Reduced risk of stroke

• Less bleeding

• Faster postoperative recovery

• Better outcomes in high-risk patients

This technique is especially beneficial for elderly patients and those with multiple medical comorbidities.

Congenital Heart Defect Closure

Dr. Mourad treats adult patients with congenital heart conditions such as Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) using both surgical and device-based approaches.

Key procedures include:

• ASD closure

• PDA (Patent Ductus Arteriosus) device closure

• Percutaneous and surgical defect repair

Each case is evaluated individually to determine the safest and most effective treatment approach.

Advanced Cardiac Devices and Electrophysiology Procedures

Dr. Faisal Mourad is experienced in the implantation and management of advanced cardiac devices, including:

• Permanent pacemakers (Dual chamber)

• AICD (Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator)

• CRT-D (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Device)

• PDA closure devices

These interventions are vital for patients with rhythm disorders, heart failure, and advanced cardiomyopathies.

Thoracic Surgery and Chest Trauma

In addition to cardiac surgery, Dr. Mourad is skilled in thoracic and chest surgeries, including:

• Management of chest injuries and trauma

• Surgical treatment of lung cancer

• Treatment of pleural diseases

• Thoracic tumor resections

His integrated cardiothoracic expertise allows for comprehensive care of complex chest conditions under one surgical plan.

Lung Cancer Surgery

Dr. Mourad performs lung cancer surgeries using modern oncological principles to ensure complete tumor removal while preserving lung function whenever possible. Multidisciplinary collaboration ensures patients receive optimal preoperative evaluation, surgical treatment, and postoperative care.

Diagnostic and Interventional Procedures

Dr. Mourad also performs and supervises advanced diagnostic and interventional cardiac procedures, including:

• Coronary angiography

• Radiofrequency ablation

• Vascular imaging

• Pre-surgical cardiac assessments

These procedures play a critical role in accurate diagnosis and surgical planning.

Medical Philosophy and Patient Care Approach

What distinguishes Dr. Faisal Mourad is not only his surgical expertise but also his commitment to patient-centered care. He believes that successful outcomes depend on:

• Clear patient education

• Transparent communication

• Evidence-based decision-making

• Ethical medical practice

Each treatment plan is customized to the patient’s unique medical condition, ensuring safety, effectiveness, and long-term success.
