Dr. Ramji Mehrotra is one of India’s most distinguished cardiac surgeons, recognized globally for his pioneering work in total arterial revascularization and pediatric heart care. With over three decades of experience and a legacy of more than 18,000 successful surgeries, he is a specialist who handles the most complex adult and pediatric cases with world-class precision.
Dr. Ramji Mehrotra is a pioneer who has introduced several surgical “firsts” to the Indian healthcare landscape. His clinical journey is defined by his time at Harvard Medical School, where he mastered advanced cardiac techniques that he later brought to India’s top medical institutions.
A Pioneer of “Total Arterial CABG”: Dr. Mehrotra is credited with performing the first total arterial revascularization at Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi. He established a landmark program using bilateral mammary arteries, which offers superior long-term results compared to traditional bypass methods.
Master of Pediatric Excellence: He performed the first successful Arterial Switch Operation in Mumbai and once performed a total arterial CABG on a 10-year-old child—the youngest patient in India to receive such a procedure.
Elite Global Training: His fellowships at Brigham & Women’s Hospital and Boston Children’s Hospital (Harvard Medical School) have equipped him with specialized skills in managing end-stage heart failure and complex congenital defects.
Compassionate Care: Known for his patient-centric approach, Dr. Mehrotra personally supervises every stage of treatment, from initial admission to post-operative follow-up, ensuring that international patients feel supported and informed throughout their journey.
