Dr. Kale Satya Sridhar — Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon in Hyderabad

Dr. Kale Satya Sridhar is a Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon at Yashoda Hospitals, Secunderabad, in Hyderabad, with more than 30 years of experience. His profile records cardiac surgery together with paediatric cardiac surgery.

His list covers coronary artery bypass grafting, heart valve repair and replacement, aortic root replacement, minimally invasive cardiac surgery and heart transplant surgery.

He read MBBS at Gandhi Medical College under NTR University of Health Sciences in Hyderabad between 1989 and 1996, took his MS in general surgery at Kakatiya Medical College in Warangal from 1998 to 2002, and his MCh in cardiovascular surgery at G B Pant Hospital under Delhi University from 2002 to 2005.

His hospital record reads as a tour of the best-known cardiac units in the country. Alongside Yashoda Hospitals in Secunderabad he has worked at Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences, Maxcure Medicity Hospital, Indo US Super Specialty Hospital and Apollo Hospital, at the Sri Satya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences in Puttaparthi, at the Dr. K. M. Cherian Heart Foundation in Chennai, and at G B Pant Hospital in Delhi where he trained.

Two of those institutions are notable for the kind of work they do rather than their size. The Puttaparthi institute and the Cherian foundation are both associated with cardiac surgery offered without regard to a patient's ability to pay, and paediatric cardiac surgery, which appears on his profile alongside the adult work, is a large part of what such centres carry.
