Dr. Sanjay Kumar Sharma — Senior Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Sanjay Kumar Sharma is a Senior Consultant at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in Delhi NCR, with more than 23 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, aortic root replacement, minimally invasive cardiac surgery and robotic cardiac surgery.

Robotic and minimally invasive surgery sitting beside redo bypass is worth noting. The first two are about reaching the heart through the smallest possible opening; a redo operation means going back through a chest that has been opened before, which is among the more demanding situations in the specialty. His list carries both.

He holds MBBS, an MS in general surgery and the DNB in cardiothoracic surgery, and completed a structural cardiac transplant training programme, recorded on his profile as specialised training and certification in structural cardiac transplant procedures.

His hospital record runs through the main cardiac units of Delhi. Alongside Indraprastha Apollo Hospital and Apollo Hospitals in Delhi he has worked at Fortis Escorts Hospital and at Manipal Hospitals.

A national board qualification in cardiothoracic surgery, followed by transplant-level training and a list that now includes robotic work, describes a surgeon whose practice has kept pace with the techniques as they arrived rather than settling at the point of qualification. He practises at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in Delhi NCR.
