Dr. Madhur Sahay — Associate Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Madhur Sahay is an Associate Consultant at Medanta - The Medicity in Delhi NCR, with more than 13 years of experience in cardiac surgery.

His list is unusual for carrying adult and congenital work side by side. The adult procedures are coronary artery bypass grafting, heart valve repair and replacement, aortic root replacement and minimally invasive cardiac surgery. The congenital procedures are surgical closure of atrial and ventricular septal defects, and the treatment of congenital heart disease in children.

Closure of a septal defect is the commonest operation in congenital heart surgery, and holding it on the same list as coronary bypass means his practice covers both the child born with a hole between the chambers and the adult whose arteries have narrowed.

He read MBBS at Manipal College of Medical Sciences and took the DNB in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery at R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.

His earlier record spans three settings. He has worked at Manipal College of Medical Sciences in Nepal, at R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata where he trained, and with the Urban Hat of Jharkhand Government Undertaking, before his current post at Medanta Hospital.

Two entries on his record come from outside medicine and describe a long habit of service and discipline: a President Award in Scout, recognised for exemplary service and leadership, and a state-level basketball career.
