Dr Tara Mastracci

Consultant at St Bartholomew’s Hospital

Dr. Mastracci is a Canadian Vascular Surgeon currently working as a Complex Aortic Surgeon at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, East London, United Kingdom. She leads both the Endovascular Aortic Service and Social Prescribing Programme at Barts. She is an Honorary Associate Professor at University College London in the Department of Surgical and Interventional Sciences. She did her medical and surgical training at McMaster University in Canada. She has a fellowship in both General and Vascular Surgery from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. After training, she did an additional fellowship in Complex Aortic Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio, USA, where she remained as a Consultant Surgeon for 7 years. She moved to the United Kingdom in 2014, and joined the Barts team in 2022.

Dr. Mastracci’s clinical specialty is complex endovascular aortic surgery. Her practice is comprised of complex aortic aneurysms and dissections which require endovascular solutions.  As such, the facilities at St. Bartholomew’s, including a state-of-the-art hybrid theatre equipped with AI-driven fusion imaging provides an ideal location for treatment of this disease. Dr. Mastracci works with the multidisciplinary team to assess complex aortic challenges, such as failed endovascular devices, and finds minimally invasive solutions for treatment.

  • Fenestrated and Branched endovascular repair
  • Complex aortic endovascular repair
  • Repair of failed endografts

Research interests

Dr. Mastracci’s research interests cross two streams. She has long been interested in the treatment of complex aortic disease, and does clinical research focusing on outcomes after complex endovascular repair, and the imaging of diseases of the aorta.

Most recently she has been interested in the clinical presentation of aortic dissection, and has worked to build a clinical system of remote monitoring to apply mobile digital technology to the treatment of this challenging disease, as well as the integration of fusion imaging in the intraoperative treatment of aortic diseases.

Her second more recent area of study has been furthering the understanding of the role of social deprivation on the outcomes of cardiovascular disease, and is currently working to build, and study, a platform for social prescribing in Secondary Care.
