Dr. Pankaj Goel

Dr Pankaj Goel is a highly distinguished Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeon (CTVS) in Amritsar with 36 years of specialized surgical experience. He currently serves as the Director of CTVS at Amandeep Medicity.

He is an absolute titan of Indian cardiovascular surgery, having successfully performed over 5,000 complex bypass and open-heart surgeries throughout his elite career.

Demonstrating immense clinical authority, Dr Goel is a regional pioneer. He was the first surgeon in the region to execute a Bentall procedure, a massive open-heart surgery required to replace a patient's entire aortic valve and ascending aorta simultaneously.

He was also the first to successfully execute massive, life-saving thoraco-abdominal aneurysm repairs.

He is an absolute master of advanced Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). He routinely executes "Off-Pump" beating-heart bypass surgeries, utilizing total arterial revascularization (including the right gastro-epiploic artery) to completely bypass massive heart blockages while the patient's heart continues to beat, avoiding the severe risks of a heart-lung machine.

Beyond arterial blockages, he executes highly complex structural and electrophysiological surgeries. He was the first in the region to perform the Maze procedure to surgically cure severe atrial fibrillation, and he routinely performs the Ross procedure and massive reconstructive repairs for catastrophic Post-MI Ventricular Septal Defects (VSD).
