Generally, in terms of considering patients for minimally invasive surgery, I don’t just think of it in terms of age, but of overall fitness, suitability for the procedure and, of course, people’s wishes. But you don’t have to be young – I operate on patients in their 80s and 90s – the results are usually very good.

The old Manor house, Harefield Place, adjacent to St Mary the Virgin church, was replaced in 1786, when a new mansion house was built at Harefield Lodge. The old 'Harefield Place' fell into disrepair and was demolished in 1813, whereupon the new Manor house became known as Harefield Place. It was sold by Charles Newdigate Newdegate in 1877. In 1938 it was acquired by the local authority to serve as a hospital.

For example, if they need further surgery, they will require infusions of other medications to counter the thinning effects of the drug. one-centimetre incision, rather than a cut of about a metre. The vein extracted is then used as a graft in exactly the same way.

The heart remains beating, removing the need to stop the heart during the procedure. This technology allows the surgeon to stabilise part of the heart and operate on the congested arteries. None of the people LDRS spoke to said they had been directly impacted with most having compliant cars or opting to take public transport. Senior nurse Diogo Gomes commutes from High Wycombe to the hospital but says his car was already ULEZ compliant.The CABG procedure can be performed by either using a cardiopulmonary bypass machine or on a beating heart. At Harefield, 100 per cent of CABGs are performed this way. This has resulted in less pain for patients, shorter hospital stays and significantly improved patient satisfaction. Our research shows we have cut the rate of infection using the EVH method to only two per cent compared to up to 20 per cent with conventional methods. We have performed nearly 7,000 procedures – making us one of the busiest and most experienced centres in Europe. What next? This section does not cite any sources.

Sir Magdi Yacoub, consultant cardiothoracic surgeon at Harefield Hospital (1969–2002), carried out the first live lobe lung transplant, and went on to perform more transplants than any other surgeon in the world. By the end of the 1980s Harefield Hospital was the leading transplant centre. Magdi Yacoub was involved in the development of heart and heart-lung transplants.Since 2002, I have found myself focusing on minimally invasive surgery. During this time, I pioneered and developed several new techniques including minimally invasive coronary artery bypass, mitral tricuspid valve repair, aortic valve replacement and endoscopic surgery for atrial fibrillation. The resident added she fears what will come next after ULEZ. She said: “It's never going to stop here. We all know it's going to be pay-per-mile next. Look at how much money they spent putting all those cameras up, you think [ Transport for London ] put all of those up for a few non-compliant cars? Of course not." Recently, I added another minimally invasive procedure – radiofrequency ablation, which uses radiofrequency energy to destroy a small area of heart tissue that is causing rapid and irregular heartbeats and restores your heart's regular rhythm – without having to open the chest. Mr Gupta, who has been driving from his home in Langley to Harefield for four years, said: "I sold my car and I had to buy a new one. I didn’t want to. I had an old diesel, it was ok, it did the job.
