Dr. Vaibhav Mishra

Dr Vaibhav Mishra is a highly distinguished Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeon (CTVS) in New Delhi with 25 years of specialized surgical experience.

He currently serves as the Senior Director and Head of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery at Max Super Speciality Hospital in Patparganj.

He is a globally renowned open-heart surgeon, having successfully executed over 6,000 complex cardiovascular surgeries and serving as a primary referral authority for over 1,000 international patients across 50 countries.

Demonstrating immense clinical authority, Dr Mishra is an absolute master of advanced Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG).

He routinely executes "Total Arterial, Beating Heart" bypass surgeries, harvesting high-quality arteries from the patient's own chest and arms to completely bypass massive heart blockages while the patient's heart continues to beat, completely avoiding the severe risks of a heart-lung machine.

He is also a regional pioneer in Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS). Instead of sawing the entire chest open, he executes complex heart valve replacements and coronary bypasses through a tiny, 2-inch incision between the ribs, utilizing specialized long-shaft instruments and extreme endoscopic vision to ensure faster recovery and flawless cosmetic results.

Beyond the coronary arteries, he executes massive structural and congenital interventions. He routinely performs colossal multi-hour reconstructions of the Aortic Root and Aortic Arch, alongside executing the surgical repair of catastrophic congenital defects (ASD, VSD, Tetralogy of Fallot) in pediatric patients.
