About Dr. Ramji Mehrotra

Dr. Ramji Mehrotra is Chairman and Chief of Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery at BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi, bringing 26+ years of expertise to complex cardiac and thoracic procedures. He completed his foundational training at Government Medical College before pursuing prestigious fellowships in cardiac surgery at Brigham & Women's Hospital and paediatric cardiac surgery at Boston Children's Hospital, both affiliated with Harvard Medical School. This international training has shaped his approach to minimally invasive and advanced surgical techniques.

Dr. Mehrotra specialises in total arterial CABG, beating-heart (OPCAB) surgery, complex bypass grafting with coronary endarterectomies, valve repairs and replacements including sutureless valves, aortic aneurysm repair, and left ventricular aneurysm procedures. He pioneered India's first minimal-incision total arterial revascularisation and performed total arterial CABG on the youngest patient in the country at just 10 years old. His work in congenital heart surgery, minimal-access cardiac surgery, advanced heart failure management (ECMO, LVAD, heart transplantation), and endovascular procedures (TAVI/TAVR) demonstrates exceptional breadth and depth. Dr. Mehrotra routinely treats international patients from the Gulf, Africa, and South Asia, providing multilingual consultation in English and Hindi.

BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, where Dr. Mehrotra leads the cardiac surgery programme, is one of India's leading tertiary centres with state-of-the-art cardiac operating theatres, advanced ICU facilities, and a dedicated international patient services team. The hospital's commitment to clinical excellence and infrastructure makes it an ideal destination for international cardiac patients seeking world-level care at accessible costs.

International patients considering treatment with Dr. Mehrotra benefit from transparent pricing, pre-operative video consultations, comprehensive post-operative follow-up via telemedicine, and coordinated arrangements through Gaf Healthcare. Many choose New Delhi for cardiac surgery because costs are significantly lower than Western countries while maintaining comparable outcomes, particularly for complex and high-risk procedures.
