I presently head the Cardiac Surgery Department at B P Poddar Hospital and Medical Research, Kolkata. We mostly do adult cardiac surgery averaging about 25 per month. Strict enforcement of SOPs and vigilant patient care has helped us achieve an impressive average mortality of less than 0.8%. At my previous appointment, I used to work as Consultant Cardiac Surgeon, at Medica Superspeciality Hospital, Kolkata. Our department has a monthly caseload of about 100 Hearts. I routinely do OPCABs along with a fairly good number of Ischaemic Mistrals. I also do Hemi sternotomy AVR and Mini Mitral along with some single/be leaflet Mitral repairs. My other surgical endeavor included LV volume restoration and surgery of the Aortic Root.
