Dr. Manoj Kumar S P — Senior Consultant in Bengaluru

Dr. Manoj Kumar S P is a Senior Consultant at Apollo Hospitals, Bannerghatta Road, in Bengaluru, with more than 26 years of experience in cardiac surgery.

His list runs from the heart to the veins of the leg. The cardiac work covers coronary artery bypass grafting, heart valve repair and replacement, double valve replacement, aortic root replacement and minimally invasive cardiac surgery. The vascular work covers peripheral vascular bypass surgery, endovascular aneurysm repair, AV fistula creation, deep vein thrombosis, varicose vein surgery and laser treatment for varicose veins.

Laser treatment for varicose veins and open heart surgery on the same list is the full span of a cardiothoracic and vascular practice, from a day procedure on a superficial vein to an operation on the aortic root.

He holds MBBS, an MS in general surgery, and both the MCh and the DNB in cardiothoracic surgery, so the specialty was examined twice, along with the FAIS as a Fellow of the Association of Indian Surgeons.

His record notes national-level records established in performing international standards of cardiac, thoracic and vascular surgery, and recognises him as one of the youngest to perform such programmes in the country. He has been nominated for congenital heart defects and endovascular and extra-corporeal CABG work, and is an active member of the heart failure treatment team.

Heart failure team membership places him alongside physicians managing patients medically, which is where surgical candidates are identified. He practises at Apollo Hospitals in Seshadripuram, Bangalore.
