He was able to replicate the same results in batra hospital & medical research institute, new delhi, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals New Delhi and Delhi heart & lung institute, new delhi nearly twenty thousand patients ( and their families) witnessed the processes which ensure safe and sure heart surgery with compassion & care. Inspired by this personal experience and accomplished with many international fellowship & prestigious affiliations and memberships he has moved on with the mission towards zero mortality in cardiac surgery.
one of the pioneers of the ‘Beating Heart Coronary Bypass Surgery’ in India, which was responsible for revolutionizing the outcome of bypass surgery in terms of significantly reducing mortality and morbidity related to coronary surgery while reducing its cost by almost 20%. At DHLI, the cardiac surgery unit brings together the skill-sets of highly competent surgeons with state-of-the art equipment and truly exceptional post-operative care.
