Dr. A G K Gokhale — Senior Consultant in Hyderabad

Dr. A G K Gokhale is a Senior Consultant at Apollo Hospital, Jubilee Hills, in Hyderabad, with more than 30 years of experience. His profile records cardiac surgery together with vascular surgery.

His list is genuinely split between the two. The cardiac work covers coronary artery bypass grafting and redo CABG, heart valve repair and replacement, double valve replacement, aortic root replacement and minimally invasive cardiac surgery. The vascular work covers peripheral vascular bypass surgery, endovascular aneurysm repair, AV fistula creation and deep vein thrombosis.

AV fistula creation on a cardiac surgeon's list is worth noting, since it is the access built for dialysis patients rather than a heart operation, and it comes from the vascular half of a cardiothoracic and vascular training.

He holds MBBS, an MS in general surgery and the MCh in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, along with the FIACS as a Fellow of the Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons, and his record notes fellowship and training in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery at premier Indian and international centres.

His profile records recognition for excellence in cardiothoracic surgical practice through multiple awards and honours over his career, awards for best scientific paper presentations at national and international conferences, and recognition for his contributions to advancing minimally invasive cardiac surgical techniques. He also has multiple publications in peer-reviewed national and international cardiothoracic and vascular surgery journals.

He practises at Apollo Health City in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad.
