Dr. Deepak Thakur

Dr Deepak Thakur is a highly distinguished Paediatric Interventional Cardiologist in Gurugram with 19 years of clinical experience. He currently serves as the Principal Consultant of Paediatric Cardiology at Fortis Hospital in Manesar.

His clinical focus is the execution of highly advanced, non-surgical catheter interventions to cure structural heart defects in newborns, infants, and adults with congenital heart disease.

He possesses a rigorous and highly specialized medical pedigree. After completing his DNB in Paediatrics, he pursued the highest level of super-specialty training, earning his FNB (Fellow of National Board) in Paediatric Cardiology from Apollo Hospitals in Chennai. He has successfully managed over 2,000 highly complex pediatric cardiac cases.

Demonstrating immense clinical authority, Dr Thakur is an expert in advanced structural cardiology. When an infant is born with a massive hole in their heart (ASD/VSD), he does not saw their chest open for surgery. Instead, he utilizes advanced cardiac catheters, threading a specialized patch up through the infant's leg vein to permanently plug the hole from the inside.

He is an absolute master of Fetal Echocardiography. Utilizing highly advanced 3D ultrasound technology, he can examine the microscopic heart of an unborn baby while still inside the mother's womb, diagnosing catastrophic congenital defects months before birth to ensure immediate life-saving surgery the moment the baby is delivered.

Beyond the catheterization lab, Dr Thakur is a formidable pediatric cardiac intensivist. He commands the Paediatric CTVS ICU, executing post-operative critical care management and extreme physiological control for infants recovering from massive, open-heart bypass surgeries.
