SPECIALTY AND DIRECTORATE INFORMATION

The South West Cardiothoracic Centre opened in 1997. It is the tertiary referral centre for cardiothoracic services in Devon and Cornwall. The designated state-of-the-art building was opened in 2007 (The Terence Lewis Building), with integrated Cardiology, Cardiothoracics, Vascular Surgery, Critical Care and Anaesthetics. The Peninsula Heart Clinic, affiliated with the main hospital, was opened in 2019 and supports the work of the Cardiology directorate. Over 118 beds are dedicated solely to the Cardiology service, supporting activity of approximately 200 ablation procedures, 900 percutaneous coronary intervention cases and 1300 cardiac surgery operations.

There are 17 Cardiology Consultants 7 interventional and 10 non-interventional. The 7 interventional Cardiologists provide the PCI service, including 24/7 primary PCI. The vast majority of diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheters are performed radially. Adjunctive technologies we employ include pressure wire assessment, intra-coronary imaging with IVUS and OCT, and rotational atherectomy. As the cardiothoracic centre for the region we take on complex and high risk PCI procedures, such as left main stem PCI, bifurcation PCI, graft PCI and CTO PCI (both antegrade and retrograde approaches). Intra-aortic balloon pumps are the mainstay of mechanical circulatory support when needed. TAVI is well established, with over 120 valves implanted annually.The 7 non-interventional Cardiologists offer the full spectrum of the lesser-invasive Cardiology tests/treatments. The echocardiography department is nationally accredited with the British society of Echocardiography. The service is well developed and offers dobutamine and bike-exercise stress echo, transoesophageal echo, bubble echo, ACHD echo and valve clinics. Over 100 complex devices are implanted annually, including S-ICD, and the device extraction service is growing.

RELATIONSHIPSThe post holder will be professionally accountable to the Medical Director and managerially accountable to the Service Line Director.
