Dr. Ashutosh Marwah

Dr Ashutosh Marwah is a highly distinguished Paediatric Cardiologist in New Delhi with 36 years of elite clinical experience. He currently serves as the Director of Paediatric Cardiology and Adult Congenital Heart Disease at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute.

He is an absolute pioneer of Indian paediatric cardiovascular medicine, having successfully executed over 10,000 highly complex cardiovascular procedures and diagnostic evaluations on infants and children worldwide. Demonstrating immense clinical authority, Dr Marwah specializes in highly complex neonatal catheter interventions.

When an infant is born with a massive hole in their heart (ASD or VSD), he does not saw the chest open. Instead, he threads a microscopic catheter through a tiny blood vessel in the baby's leg, navigating directly into the beating heart to deploy a synthetic umbrella device that permanently seals the hole from the inside.

He also routinely executes massive interventional reconstructions on critically ill newborns, utilizing high-pressure balloon dilatation and specialized stents to physically pry open collapsed or fatally narrowed blood vessels, including severe Coarctation of the Aorta and pulmonary artery blockages.

Beyond his surgical interventions, he is a master of congenital diagnostics. Utilizing extreme, high-definition ultrasound technology, he performs highly complex Fetal Echocardiography, diagnosing fatal congenital heart defects in the microscopic hearts of unborn infants while they are still in the womb.
