I am in the speciality of Paediatric cardiac surgery for the last 15 years after my cardiac surgical training. I operate on babies with all variants of congenital heart disease. My subset of patients range from 2Kgs to 20kgs and simple to complex congenital heart disease.
As of now, I have operated on more than 2000 babies with congenital heart disease.The experience in Paediatric Heart Transplantation and ECMO’s is my field of interest. I did first Paediatric Cardiac ECMO at Care Hospital, Hyderabad in 2012 and first Paediatric heart Transplantation in 2017 at Continental Hospital , Hyderabad.
