Dr. Naresh Trehan — Chairman and Managing Director in Delhi NCR

Dr. Naresh Trehan is Chairman and Managing Director of Medanta - The Medicity in Delhi NCR, with more than 52 years of experience in cardiac surgery.

His list covers coronary artery bypass grafting and redo CABG, heart valve repair and replacement, double valve replacement and multiple valve surgery, heart transplant surgery, minimally invasive cardiac surgery and robotic cardiac surgery. His profile also records the comparison between traditional and minimally invasive heart surgery as one of the subjects he addresses, which is the question a patient facing either faces first.

He holds MBBS and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Cardiothoracic Surgery, the certification that governs the specialty in the United States.

His honours span more than three decades and two of the highest civilian awards in India. He received the Padma Shri in 1991 for distinguished service in medicine and the Padma Bhushan from the Government of India, along with the Dr. B. C. Roy National Award in 2005, the highest recognition Indian medicine gives its own. Earlier came the Rajiv Gandhi National Unity Award and the India International Gold Award, both in 1995.

Robotic and minimally invasive cardiac surgery sitting on the same list as transplantation and redo bypass describes a practice that covers both the newest approaches to the heart and the hardest repeat operations.

Alongside Medanta – The Medicity, where he is chairman and managing director, he practises at Medanta Gurugram and Medanta Mediclinic in Defence Colony.
