Medical Problems

For which Dr. Abhinav Sharma can be consulted

Dr. Abhinav Sharma has acquired extensive experience in several cardiac and thoracic
surgeries, including the following:
1. Total Arterial Revascularisation

He has a subspecialty in the use of arterial grafts rather than vein grafts for bypassing purposes.
Arterial grafts, specifically the internal mammary arteries, have a better long-term prognosis and
durability, thereby further enhancing patient outcomes.
2. Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
Dr. Sharma also performs certain cardiac surgeries through small incisions rather than open-
heart methods. These minimally invasive procedures lead to better outcomes through shorter
stays in the hospital, less blood loss, and less postoperative pain; they allow for faster recovery.
3. Beating-heart (Off-pump) Bypass Surgery
Here, bypass surgery is done without stopping the heart and also without using the heart-lung
machine. It lessens the risk of complications, especially for old patients or those who have
preexisting medical ailments.
4. Valve Replacement and Repair
He is tremendously skilled in replacing and repairing defective heart valves, either because of
congenital disorders, infections, or wear and tear, enabling him to maximise the performance of
the valve by carefully selected operative approaches.
5. Redo and High-Risk Surgeries
Certain patients need a repeat or even a third operation because of earlier failed operations or
deteriorating conditions. Dr. Sharma performs such high-risk and redo surgeries with ease and
superb outcomes.
6. Congenital Heart Surgeries
He also performs heart defects of the heart in children, teenagers, and adults, allowing them to
lead a normal and healthy life through proper surgical intervention.
7. Thoracic Surgery
In addition to cardiovascular care, Dr. Sharma also performs operations on the lungs,
oesophagus, and chest wall. These include the removal of tumours, treatment of pleural
disease, and trauma to the chest.
