Cardiac Surgery Doctors in Noida

Cardiac surgery is where medicine meets its limit. When a coronary artery is too diseased for stenting, when a valve cannot be repaired through a catheter, when the aorta has dissected or aneurysed beyond what endovascular treatment can safely address - surgery becomes the only option. It is high-stakes work, requiring a level of technical training, surgical volume, and perioperative infrastructure that only a few of the centres in any given region can sustain.

The department's surgical scope spans coronary bypass, valve surgery, aortic surgery, minimally invasive cardiac surgery, heart and lung transplantation, mechanical circulatory support including LVAD and ECMO, structural heart procedures including TAVI and MitraClip, and paediatric and adult congenital heart disease repair.

The breadth of that scope is not incidental. It reflects a team assembled specifically to handle the full complexity range of cardiac surgical disease - including cases that most hospitals in the NCR region would need to refer elsewhere.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

CABG remains the definitive treatment for multi-vessel coronary artery disease and left main stem disease in most patients. The choice between on-pump surgery - using cardiopulmonary bypass to arrest the heart - and off-pump beating heart surgery depends on the patient's coronary anatomy, haemodynamic stability, and associated risk factors.

Valve Surgery - Repair and Replacement

Mitral valve repair (when the native valve anatomy allows) preserves ventricular geometry and avoids the lifelong anticoagulation associated with mechanical prostheses. Aortic valve replacement, mitral valve replacement when repair is not feasible, tricuspid repair and annuloplasty, and complex multi-valve surgery are all performed within the department. Our team has specific experience in complex valve work including tricuspid repair, ring annuloplasty, and double valve replacement. We also perform valve repair and replacement alongside endovascular procedures including TAVI and TEVAR - the hybrid surgical-interventional skill set that modern aortic and structural practice increasingly demands.

Aortic Surgery

Aortic aneurysm repair, aortic dissection surgery, the Bentall procedure - composite root replacement combining aortic valve and ascending aorta - and total arch replacement are among the most demanding operations in cardiac surgery. They carry significant operative risk and require a surgeon who operates on them in meaningful volume, not occasionally. Our expertise lies in Bentall procedure and arch replacement, alongside endovascular and hybrid aortic repairs.

Heart Transplant, LVAD, and Mechanical Circulatory Support

End-stage heart failure that has not responded to optimal medical therapy presents a surgical question: heart transplantation, left ventricular assist device implantation as a bridge to transplant or as destination therapy, or ECMO for acute cardiogenic shock that requires immediate circulatory support. All three are within the department's capability.

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery and Structural Procedures

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery - valve operations and selected coronary procedures through smaller incisions or ports, avoiding full sternotomy - reduces recovery time and blood loss in appropriate patients. Structural heart procedures that are at the surgical-interventional boundary - TAVI for aortic valve replacement, MitraClip for mitral regurgitation - are managed by our team of cardiac surgeons, working alongside the interventional cardiology team in a Heart Team framework.

The Cardiac Surgery Team

Dr. Amit Chaudhary, Director, trained at King George Medical College Lucknow, for his MS in Surgery and holds an MCh in CTVS alongside an MRCS from the NHS UK. His qualifications reflect structured surgical training and assessment within the healthcare system - a qualification that demands a broad operative standard. He performs: minimally invasive cardiac surgery, heart transplant, LVAD, aortic surgery including Bentall and arch replacement, hybrid endovascular repairs, TAVI, MitraClip, ECMO, and vascular surgery.

Dr. Sanjay Kumar, Director, completed his MCh in Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery at SMS Medical College Jaipur, MS at PMCH Patna, and MBBS at JLN Medical College Ajmer. He specialises in adult and paediatric cardiac surgery, beating heart surgery, total arterial revascularisation, aortic and endovascular surgery, LVAD, ECMO, redo cardiac surgery, valvular repair and replacement, and peripheral arterial disease interventions. Redo cardiac surgery - operating on a heart that has already been opened once - is technically among the most demanding subsets of cardiac surgery, and its explicit inclusion reflects the kind of case complexity this team manages.

Dr. Ravi Kumar Gupta, Consultant, trained at University College of Medical Sciences Delhi for his MBBS and at LHMC and Dr. RML Hospital for his MS, before completing his MCh in CTVS at GB Pant Hospital and Maulana Azad Medical College New Delhi. His specialisation includes heart and lung transplantation, complex CABG including off-pump surgery, aortic surgery, mitral repair and valve replacement, MICS, ECMO, LVAD, and adult congenital heart defect repair including ASD closure.

Dr. Syed Daud Ali, Consultant, holds a DrNB in CTVS and his MBBS from PGIMS Rohtak. His practice covers coronary artery bypass surgery, valve repair and replacement, aortic pathology, peripheral vascular disease, and endovascular procedures including TAVI and TEVAR - the transcatheter aortic and thoracic aortic endovascular repair techniques that increasingly form part of the modern cardiac surgeon's expertise.

Dr. Ashish Sagar Tyagi, Associate Consultant, completed his MCh in CTVS at Vardhaman Mahavir Medical College and Safdarjung Hospital New Delhi. His clinical focus is coronary artery disease including triple vessel disease, off-pump and on-pump CABG, adult congenital heart defects, and complex valve surgery including tricuspid repair, annuloplasty, and multi-valve procedures.

FAQs

1. My cardiologist says I need bypass surgery. What questions should I be asking the cardiac surgeon?

   A few questions matter most.

   • First - how many vessels need to be bypassed, and which ones? The technical approach and expected benefit.

   • Second - is off-pump surgery an option, and what is the surgeon's experience with it?

   • Third - what conduit will be used? Arterial grafts, particularly bilateral internal mammary arteries, have better long-term patency than vein grafts.

   • Fourth - what are your surgeon's outcomes for this procedure, particularly their conversion rate from off-pump to on-pump?

2. What is the difference between valve repair and valve replacement?

   Repair preserves the native valve (leaflets, subvalvular apparatus, annulus) using sutures, patches, or rings to restore normal function. It avoids prosthetic material and, in the case of the mitral valve especially, maintains better left ventricular function by preserving the geometry of the chamber. Replacement removes the native valve and substitutes either a mechanical prosthesis or a tissue prosthesis. Whether repair or replacement is appropriate depends on the specific anatomy of the diseased valve. Not all valves can be repaired, and in those that can, the surgical team's experience with repair techniques matters for the outcome.

3. What is an LVAD and when is it used?

   A left ventricular assist device is a mechanical pump implanted inside the chest that assists the failing left ventricle in circulating blood. It is used in patients with advanced heart failure whose hearts cannot maintain adequate output despite optimal medical therapy. In some patients it is used as a bridge to transplant - keeping the patient alive and well enough while they wait for a donor heart. In others - particularly those who are not transplant candidates due to age or comorbidity - it is used as destination therapy, meaning the LVAD itself is the long-term treatment.

4. How long does recovery from open heart surgery typically take?

   Most patients undergoing CABG or valve surgery through a full sternotomy spend five to seven days in the hospital, including time in the cardiac ICU immediately after surgery. The sternum takes approximately six to eight weeks to heal - during which lifting, driving, and certain physical activities are restricted. Most patients feel substantially better within four to six weeks and return to normal activity by twelve weeks, though this varies with age, fitness before surgery, and how the immediate post-operative period goes. Minimally invasive approaches reduce the incision size and may shorten the recovery period for selected patients. Cardiac rehabilitation is recommended after most cardiac surgical procedures and meaningfully improves long-term outcomes.
