India's Leading Aortic Surgery Team
Pioneered by Dr. Rahul Chandola, precision-led treatment across every stage of aortic disease.
Aortic Root & Ascending Aorta Reconstruction
Precision solutions for the foundation of the aorta. We offer advanced treatments like David's Valve-Sparing and Bentall procedures, focused on preserving heart function and ensuring lasting durability.
Advanced Aortic Arch & Hybrid Repairs
Where open and endovascular innovation meet. From Frozen Elephant Trunk (FET) to debranching, our team performs high-precision surgery for complex arch aneurysms and dissections using a hybrid approach.
Thoracoabdominal Aortic Surgery
Comprehensive repairs for the aorta's most complex segment. Specialized in treating Extents I–IV, our team protects vital organs during extensive repairs using advanced monitoring and reconstruction techniques.
Endovascular & Minimally Invasive Interventions
Minimally invasive, maximally effective. We use TEVAR, EVAR and fenestrated grafts in high-risk patients, offering faster recovery and excellent outcomes through minimally invasive procedures.
Bentall Procedure
A time-tested method where the entire aortic root is replaced with a composite valve-conduit graft, covering both root aneurysm and valve disease in a single operation.
Valve-Sparing Root Replacement
Where the native valve is still functioning well, we preserve it while replacing the dilated aortic root. Techniques like the David or Yacoub method help patients avoid lifelong anticoagulation.
Structured Care, Every Step of the Way
Recovery after aortic root and arch surgery requires careful monitoring and structured rehabilitation. Our multidisciplinary cardiac team provides comprehensive guidance and support at every stage of healing.
Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
Our dedicated cardiac ICU ensures continuous monitoring and expert care, giving patients a safe and supported recovery environment after surgery.
Advanced Diagnostics
Precise diagnostics help us detect conditions early and plan the most effective treatment, ensuring clarity and confidence at every step of the patient's journey.
Professional Staff
Our experienced doctors, nurses and care teams guide patients with compassion, expertise and personalized attention throughout treatment.
Fast Recovery
With advanced techniques and structured post-operative care, patients experience quicker recovery, fewer complications, and an earlier return to daily life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Aortic root and arch surgery typically takes 4–10 hours depending on the complexity of the condition and the patient's anatomy. Bentall procedures usually take 4–6 hours, valve-sparing root replacement takes 5–7 hours, and total arch replacement can take 6–10 hours.
As with any major heart surgery, risks include bleeding, infection, stroke, kidney problems, or temporary changes in heart rhythm. Our experienced cardiac surgeons and advanced monitoring techniques at IHLD work to keep these risks well below national averages while ensuring the best possible outcomes.
Regular monitoring and imaging are essential after aortic surgery. While the risk is reduced, new aneurysms or complications can occur, which is why long-term follow-up is critical. Our team at IHLD provides comprehensive follow-up care to monitor aortic health and address any concerns promptly.
