Specialist Details

Following a degree in Computer Science Dr Bassin studied Medicine at the University of Sydney and then continued with PhD studies in cardiac electrophysiology. His clinical training took place at St Vincent’s Hospital, Wagga Base, Prince of Wales and Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney, as well as Harvard Medical School in Boston, where Dr Bassin undertook his Fellowship training in minimally invasive surgery as well as transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). He is one of only a few surgeons in Australia trained in TAVI and minimally invasive robotic surgery, and Dr Bassin has specific interest in mitral valve repair, minimally invasive heart surgery, robotic mitral valve, coronary bypass and thoracic surgery, and TAVI.

Dr Bassin says "My focus is on providing patients with appropriate treatment in the least invasive way possible. This can include less invasive cardiac or thoracic surgery or newer technologies such as Robotic Surgery and TAVI."
