Areas of Expertise

Dr Rajeev Vashisth specialises in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery with expertise across coronary artery bypass grafting, minimally invasive cardiac surgery, valve surgery, adult congenital heart disease, total arterial revascularisation, and paediatric cardiac surgery.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

He performs coronary artery bypass grafting for patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease, restoring blood supply to the heart muscle through grafted blood vessels. He has extensive experience in both on-pump and off-pump CABG techniques to suit different patient profiles and clinical requirements.

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery

He performs minimally invasive cardiac surgical procedures through smaller chest incisions, reducing operative trauma, blood loss, and recovery time. This approach is suitable for selected patients undergoing valve repair, valve replacement, and other structural cardiac operations.

Valve Repair and Replacement

He performs single and double valve repair and replacement surgeries for patients with mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary valve disease. Surgical correction of diseased cardiac valves restores normal blood flow through the heart and significantly improves cardiac function and patient quality of life.

Total Arterial Coronary Revascularisation

He performs total arterial coronary revascularisation using arterial grafts rather than vein grafts for coronary bypass surgery. This approach is associated with superior long-term graft patency and is considered the gold standard technique for durable coronary artery bypass outcomes.

Adult Congenital Heart Disease

He manages adult patients with congenital heart defects who require surgical correction or revision of previously repaired structural abnormalities, providing specialised surgical care for a wide range of congenital cardiac conditions presenting or persisting into adulthood.

Paediatric Cardiac Surgery

He has extensive experience in paediatric cardiac surgery including corrective procedures for congenital heart defects in infants and children. He was instrumental in establishing and developing the paediatric cardiac surgery programme at Fortis Hospital, Amritsar, reflecting his longstanding commitment to childhood cardiac care.
