Mr Lukla Biasi Consultant Vascular Surgeon, PhD
Mr Lukla Biasi is an experienced vascular and endovascular surgeon with a dedicated commitment to the sub-specialties of lower limb revascularisation, carotid surgery and superficial vein surgery.
Lukla Biasi graduated with distinguished honours from the University of Bologna Medical School, Italy. Following a research fellowship at St Georges’ Vascular Institute in London, he completed the specialist training at the University Hospital of Parma, Italy, where he was appointed as Consultant Vascular Surgeon in 2009.
Lukla moved to the UK in 2014 for a clinical and research fellowship on complex lower limb revascularisation at St. Thomas’ Hospital, London.
Mr Biasi took up his consultant vascular appointment at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust in 2016. He is currently the lead for Lower Limb Revascularisation, fore-fronting cutting edge endovascular treatments and complex bypass surgery. He has a specialist interest in complex wound management, digital health literacy and telemedicine.
He was awarded an International PhD – Doctor Europaeus – “summa cum laude” for his academic achievements. Mr Biasi has published on national and international peer-reviewed journals and is, at present, editorial board member of the Vascular and Endovascular Review journal (VER) and reviewer for the European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery (EJVS), Annals of Vascular Surgery (Ann Vasc Surg), Angiology, the Journal of Vascular Endovascular Surgery (VES) and JRSM Cardiovascular Disease.
Mr Biasi leads general vascular (including vascular lab – Duplex scan) and diabetic foot clinics at St Thomas’, Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks Hospitals. In-patient surgery at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust comprises the full range of open and endovascular arterial and superficial-vein surgery performed in state-of-the art open, hybrid and cathlab theatres.
Lukla enjoys spending time with his family in Italy and Ireland and his hobbies include swimming, reading and exploring the Kent countryside.
Lukla prides himself on exceptional patient experience from initial consultation to pre-operative meeting to post-op care with attention to detail, keeping patients and their families involved and up to date with the care at every stage.
