Dr. Md. Jilhaj Uddin

Dr. Md. Jilhaj Uddin is a Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeon with MBBS, BCS in Health and MS in Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery from the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD). He completed his MBBS at Rajshahi Medical College. His further training includes Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery, endovascular intervention and VATS, or Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery. His work covers heart, chest and blood vessel conditions. Coronary artery bypass surgery, heart valve operations and repairs for congenital heart defects are among his surgical areas. These are not small procedures. Patients usually need several tests and careful preparation before surgery.

Dr. Jilhaj Uddin works as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery at Asgar Ali Hospital in Dhaka. He also serves as a Consultant at Gazi Medical College Hospital in Khulna. His experience includes vascular interventions and minimally invasive procedures. VATS allows surgeons to operate inside the chest through small openings with the help of a camera. MICS follows a similar idea for selected cardiac operations, using smaller access points than traditional surgery. His listed surgical experience also includes heart transplantation. Different patients need different approaches. A bypass case is not the same as a valve problem or a vascular blockage. His work covers quite a bit of that territory.
