He is uniquely recognized for his “Biventricular Repair” philosophy—a complex surgical approach that aims to give children a two-ventricle heart instead of the single-ventricle (Fontan) alternative whenever possible. This dedication to long-term quality of life has made him a preferred choice for international patients. Dr. Sharma has not only saved thousands of lives but has also mentored a new generation of cardiac surgeons who now practice across the globe.
