PROFESSOR KEYVAN MOGHISSI 22/06/1927 – 13/11/2025

It is with sadness we announce the passing of Professor Moghissi. Keyvan Moghissi was born in Persia before his family moved to Switzerland. Having married an English nurse, he moved to England in the 1950’s. He trained in London prior to moving to Hull to set up the Cardiothoracic Surgical Department at Castle Hill Hospital in the 1970s and becoming the second president of the European Association of Cardiothoracic Surgery. He was one of the founders of EACTS.

As well as having pursued an active career in cardiothoracic surgery he became internationally renowned for his work in laser treatments, especially PDT. To further this, he was responsible for founding a charity with a working arm - the Yorkshire Laser Centre - to undertake ground breaking research into laser therapy
He will be much missed by his previous colleagues and the numerous patients he had helped in his long and distinguished career who held him in a very high esteem
