Dr. Duke has extensive experience in all aspects of cardiac surgery. He specializes in transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) and in off-pump procedures. TMR is a procedure used to relieve severe angina, or chest pain, in very ill patients who aren't candidates for bypass surgery or angioplasty. Off-pump surgery lets patients receive coronary bypass grafts without using the heart-lung bypass machine. This is a minimally invasive technique that lets surgeons operate on multiple heart vessels while the heart continues to beat.

He is certified by the American Board of Surgery and by the American Board of Thoracic Surgery. He is also a member of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, the American College of Surgeons and the American College of Cardiology.
