He undertook higher surgical training in cardiothoracic surgery in Prince of Wales Hospital, Grantham Hospital and Queen Elizabeth Hospital and obtained FRCSEd (CTh) from The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 2008. He further obtained Fellow of The College of Surgeons of Hong Kong and Fellow of Hong Kong Academy of Medicine in 2009.

Dr Wong's career interests include complex open aortic surgery including total arch replacement and frozen elephant trunk procedure and open thoracoabdominal aortic surgery, hybrid thoracic aortic intervention, hybrid and minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures. He is the convener of Hybrid Operating Theatre management committee of Prince of Wales Hospital and actively participates in the development of hybrid cardiovascular interventions.

Academically, Dr Wong's research interests are the techniques in improving outcomes of complex aortic procedures, screening for thoracic aortic aneurysm, genetic basis of aortic pathology as well as hybrid endovascular intervention for cardiovascular diseases. He contributed over 150 publications in peer-reviewed journals including Circulation, JACC, CHEST, Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery and Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 8 book chapters and more than 140 invited talks. He is now review editor of Frontier in Cardiovascular Medicine (IF 6.06).
