He has considerable experience with Percutaneous Transcatheter Implantation of an Aortic Valve (valve replacement via the groin), being part of the team that had pioneered its clinical use. He has performed over 4500 Cardiac Surgeries, 1600 thoracic procedures and 65 Heart and Lung Transplants which speak volumes about his success in critical surgeries. His practice encompasses the entire spectrum Cardiothoracic & Vascular surgery, with special focus on minimally invasive cardiac surgeries, total arterial beating heart revascularisation, complex redo-heart surgery, valve repairs and congenital cardiac surgery. Having completed his medical degree from Bangalore medical college, he did his Masters in General Surgery from Kasturba Medical College, Manipal. Even after completing a Masters his zeal for study never receded, he wanted to delve deeper into the Cardio Sciences and pursued super-Specialty training in Cardiothoracic and Vascular surgery from the prestigious Sree Chitra Institute, which developed India’s only commercially available prosthetic heart valve and membrane oxygenator.
