Heart Surgery Procedures by Top Cardiac Surgeon in Delhi

Focused expertise in complex adult, pediatric, and neonatal cardiac procedures.

Vascular Surgery

Vascular Surgery

Vascular surgery treats diseases of the arteries and veins, including varicose veins, peripheral artery disease, and carotid artery blockages. It restores healthy blood circulation and helps prevent complications such as clots, ulcers, or stroke.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

CABG, or bypass surgery, restores blood flow to the heart by creating a new pathway around blocked coronary arteries using a healthy blood vessel graft. Patients in Delhi NCR can access both on-pump and off-pump (beating-heart) techniques, depending on their coronary anatomy.

Congenital Cardiac Surgery

Congenital Cardiac Surgery

Congenital cardiac surgery corrects structural heart defects present at birth, including atrial and ventricular septal defects, in newborns, infants, and children. Early diagnosis and timely repair are key to normal heart growth and long-term function.

Aortic and Mitral Valve Replacement

Aortic and Mitral Valve Replacement

Valve replacement and repair treat aortic or mitral valves that no longer open or close properly due to narrowing (stenosis) or leakage (regurgitation). The procedure restores normal blood flow through the heart and relieves symptoms such as breathlessness and fatigue.

Aneurysm Repair

Aneurysm Repair

Aneurysm repair treats a weakened, bulging section of an artery wall before it ruptures. Depending on the location and size of the aneurysm, treatment may involve open surgical repair or catheter-based endovascular techniques, available at leading vascular centres in Delhi.

Coronary Angioplasty

Coronary Angioplasty

Coronary angioplasty is a catheter-based procedure that opens a blocked heart artery using a small balloon, often followed by stent placement to keep the artery open. It is one of the most commonly performed cardiac procedures in Delhi hospitals, used both electively and as emergency treatment during a heart attack.
