Professional Background
Dr. Sanjeeth Peter is the Director of Cardiovascular Surgery at DDMM Heart Institute, Nadiad, Gujarat, India. He holds the highest academic qualifications available in cardiac surgery in India and has dedicated his career to delivering complex cardiac procedures with consistently excellent outcomes.
Qualifications
| Qualification | Details |
|---|---|
| MS (Master of Surgery) | Post-graduate surgical foundation degree |

Surgical Expertise and Specialisations
1. Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (OPCAB)
Dr. Sanjeeth is recognised as one of India’s leading off-pump CABG surgeons. Off-pump surgery — where the heart continues beating throughout — requires significantly higher technical skill than traditional on-pump surgery but offers important advantages for many patients: lower stroke risk, fewer kidney complications, reduced blood transfusion requirements, and faster recovery. His off-pump success rate exceeds 98.5%.
2. Complex Valve Surgery
Dr. Sanjeeth has extensive experience with both valve repair (preserving the patient’s own valve) and valve replacement (mechanical or biological prostheses). He performs mitral valve repair, aortic valve replacement, double valve surgery, and combined valve-bypass procedures. His approach is to repair rather than replace wherever anatomically possible.
3. Congenital Heart Surgery
DDMM Heart Institute treats both children and adults with congenital (present from birth) heart defects. Procedures include ASD (atrial septal defect) and VSD (ventricular septal defect) closure, Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair, and PDA (patent ductus arteriosus) ligation. Malaysian parents who cannot access timely congenital surgery for their children through public hospitals have found Dr. Sanjeeth’s expertise invaluable.
4. High-Risk and Redo Cardiac Surgery
Dr. Sanjeeth accepts cases that many other cardiac surgery centres decline — including patients with severely reduced heart function, those who have had previous bypass surgery (redo CABG), elderly patients, and those with multiple comorbidities. His willingness to take on complex, high-risk cases while maintaining excellent outcomes is one of the reasons Malaysian referring cardiologists trust his judgment.
Dr. Sanjeeth’s Approach to Malaysian Patients
Communication is a consistent theme in feedback from Malaysian patients. Dr. Sanjeeth communicates clearly in English and takes time to ensure patients and families understand the diagnosis, the proposed procedure, expected outcomes, and recovery milestones. He reviews all pre-operative reports personally — he does not delegate initial case assessment to junior staff.
For Malaysian patients coordinated through V&R Medical Service, Dr. Sanjeeth provides:
- Free review of medical reports submitted via V&R before the patient travels to India
- Written treatment recommendation and cost estimate within 48 hours
- Personal pre-operative consultation on admission day
- Daily updates to family members during ICU and ward stay
- Detailed discharge summary in English for the patient’s Malaysian cardiologist
Types of Cases Dr. Sanjeeth Treats for Malaysian Patients
Malaysian patients referred to Dr. Sanjeeth through V&R cover a wide range of cardiac conditions:
- Multi-vessel coronary artery disease requiring bypass (CABG) — most common case
- Aortic valve stenosis or regurgitation requiring replacement
- Mitral valve regurgitation — repair or replacement
- Combined coronary artery disease and valve disease
- Congenital heart defects in children (ASD, VSD, TOF)
- Patients declined for surgery in Malaysia due to high operative risk
- Patients requiring redo bypass (previous CABG that has failed)
Surgical Outcomes
