What Is Aortic Surgery in Delhi NCR?
Aortic surgery in Delhi NCR covers a range of procedures to treat diseases of the aorta — the body’s largest artery, which carries oxygenated blood from the heart to every organ and limb. When the aortic wall weakens and balloons outward (aneurysm), or when the inner wall tears and blood forces its way between layers (dissection), the consequences can be catastrophic and rapidly life-threatening.
Aortic diseases are often completely silent until they reach a critical size — or until a sudden, life-threatening rupture or tear occurs. This is why early diagnosis, careful monitoring, and timely aortic surgery are all critical components of management.
Dr. Ved Prakash, Director of CTVS at Yatharth Super Speciality Hospitals, Greater Noida, treats the full spectrum of aortic conditions — offering both open surgical repair and minimally invasive endovascular options depending on the individual’s anatomy and overall health.
Symptoms and Risk Factors for Aortic Disease
Aortic disease often has no symptoms until it is advanced. Seek cardiac imaging if you have:
- High blood pressure (hypertension) — a major driver of aortic wall damage
- A family history of aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection
- A bicuspid aortic valve — associated with significant aortic enlargement risk
- Marfan syndrome or other connective tissue disorders
- Sudden severe chest or back pain (possible dissection — seek emergency care immediately)
- A pulsatile or throbbing sensation in the abdomen (possible abdominal aortic aneurysm)
Aortic Conditions Treated by Dr. Ved Prakash
Aortic Aneurysm
Thoracic & Abdominal
A localised ballooning of the aortic wall beyond 1.5 times its normal diameter. May affect the ascending thoracic aorta, descending thoracic aorta, or abdominal aorta. Typically symptom-free until large or ruptured — monitored with regular CT imaging until the intervention threshold is reached.
Aortic Dissection
Type A & Type B
A catastrophic tear in the inner aortic wall allowing high-pressure blood between the layers. Type A (involving the ascending aorta) is a surgical emergency. Type B (descending aorta only) may be managed medically or with TEVAR depending on its features.
Aortic Root Disease
Bentall Procedure
Conditions including Marfan syndrome, bicuspid aortic valve disease, and severe aortic regurgitation affecting the root of the aorta. When the root is enlarged, the Bentall procedure — combined root, valve, and coronary reimplantation — is the definitive aortic surgery.
Traumatic Aortic Injury
Emergency Repair
Severe blunt chest trauma from road accidents or falls can cause aortic tears requiring emergency surgical or endovascular repair. Rapid intervention is critical to survival.

Aortic Surgery Treatment Options Available in Delhi NCR
STEP 01
Open Surgical Repair
Gold standard for ascending aortic aneurysms, Type A dissection, and root disease. The diseased aortic segment is replaced with a surgical graft under cardiopulmonary bypass. Provides durable, definitive repair.
STEP 02
TEVAR
Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair — a stent-graft delivered through the femoral artery, deployed inside the diseased descending thoracic aorta. No chest incision. ICU stay 1–2 days versus 5–7 for open surgery.
STEP 03
EVAR
Endovascular Aneurysm Repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms. A bifurcated stent-graft delivered through both femoral arteries. Hospital stay 3–5 days. Often performed under local anaesthesia. Anatomical suitability confirmed by CT angiography.
Why Patients Choose Dr. Ved Prakash for Aortic Surgery in Delhi
Dr. Ved Prakash manages aortic surgery cases from initial diagnosis through to surgical or endovascular treatment — with experience across open root surgery, Bentall procedures, emergency dissection repairs, and endovascular aortic interventions in Delhi NCR.
Every aortic case is assessed individually. Treatment decisions are based on the anatomy, the patient’s overall health, and the procedure most likely to deliver the best long-term result. No two aortas are the same — and Dr. Ved Prakash does not apply a one-size-fits-all approach.
Patient Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions About Aortic Surgery in Delhi NCR
How do I know if I have an aortic aneurysm in Delhi NCR?
Most aortic aneurysms are discovered incidentally during CT scans or echocardiograms. Patients with hypertension, a family history of aortic disease, Marfan syndrome, or a bicuspid aortic valve should ask their cardiologist about proactive aortic screening.
At what size does an aortic aneurysm need surgery?
For ascending aortic aneurysms, surgery is generally recommended at 5.5 cm — or 5.0 cm in patients with bicuspid aortic valve or connective tissue disorders. For abdominal aortic aneurysms, the threshold is typically 5.5 cm for men and 5.0 cm for women.
Is aortic dissection always a surgical emergency?
Type A aortic dissection (involving the ascending aorta) is always a surgical emergency requiring immediate operation. Type B dissection is often initially managed with blood pressure control — with endovascular repair reserved for complicated cases.
What is recovery like after aortic surgery in Delhi?
Open aortic repair requires 2–3 days in ICU and 10–14 days in hospital, with full recovery over 2–3 months. TEVAR and EVAR allow discharge in 3–5 days with significantly faster return to normal activity.
