Dr. Romena Rahman Rumu

Dr. Romena Rahman Rumu is a Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeon with MBBS and MS in Cardiothoracic Surgery. She has around 18 years of professional experience and serves as an Assistant Professor in Cardiac Surgery at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases & Hospital (NICVD), Dhaka. Her clinical work includes coronary artery bypass grafting, heart valve replacement and surgery for congenital heart defects. ASD, VSD and PDA are among the conditions in her area of practice. She also has experience with MICS, or minimally invasive cardiac surgery. A patient may need one type of operation while another person with a similar complaint may need something quite different. Tests and the exact heart problem usually guide that decision.

Dr. Romena Rahman Rumu also works with cardiac ablation, robotic-assisted heart surgery and cardiac transplantation. Her surgical background includes LIMA and RIMA grafting in bypass procedures. These operations require detailed planning and close monitoring before and after surgery. Alongside her hospital work, she is involved in teaching and training as an Assistant Professor. Cardiac surgery can involve long preparation, a major operation and a fair amount of recovery time. Valve replacement is not the same as congenital defect repair. CABG is another matter again. Her work covers several of these areas. Eighteen years in the field. Surgery, teaching and plenty of hospital work.
