Best Doctors for Cardiac Surgery in India

Cardiac treatment in India is delivered by two overlapping specialists, and knowing which one your case needs helps. A cardiac surgeon, trained through MCh in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, performs open procedures such as CABG, valve replacement and valve repair. An interventional cardiologist, trained through DM in Cardiology with an interventional fellowship, performs catheter-based procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, TAVR and pacemaker implantation from inside the vessel or the heart itself. At the strongest centres these two work as one team on borderline cases, deciding together whether a valve is repaired open or replaced by catheter, rather than each pushing their own approach.

The specialists listed here were selected on qualification in the relevant branch, years in independent practice, the annual volume of cases they handle in their own category, and the hospital theatre and cath lab behind them, since cardiac outcomes depend heavily on equipment as well as skill. Several are attached to high volume cardiac units in Delhi NCR where our network is anchored. Send your reports and we will tell you which specialist your case actually calls for, with an opinion within 48 hours.
