Total Arterial Bypass (LIMA-RIMA Y)
Using highly durable arteries from inside the chest wall instead of leg veins for long-lasting graft performance in suitable patients.
Heart Valve Repair and Replacement
Repairing or replacing narrowed or leaking heart valves to optimise pumping efficiency.
Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
Performing complex heart procedures through small incisions between the ribs rather than opening the main chest bone.
Heart Transplantation Experience
Advanced surgical management and hope for patients facing end-stage heart failure.
Aortic Aneurysm Repair Surgery
Repairing weakened, bulging sections of the aorta before they rupture, using open or minimally invasive stent-graft techniques.

Modern, Technology-Driven Cardiac Surgery
Patient-specific decision-making, not a one-size-fits-all approach
Dr. Amjad reviews each patient's angiography findings, heart function, age, diabetes status, kidney function, and overall health before recommending the safest treatment plan.
Advanced bypass strategies
including off-pump (beating heart) CABG, total arterial grafting in suitable patients, and minimally invasive options where clinically appropriate.
State-of-the-art surgical technology
operating within the advanced Robotic Surgical Unit at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital and other premier medical centres, using instruments designed for extreme precision.
Keyhole (minimally invasive) techniques
smaller incisions and custom, patient-specific planning before entering the operating room.
A smoother recovery
In appropriately selected patients, minimally invasive approaches may allow smaller incisions and support an earlier recovery compared with conventional open approaches.
Clear communication throughout
patients and families understand not just what surgery may be needed, but why a particular approach is right for them.
Conditions Treated
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Advanced narrowing or hardening of the blood vessels supplying the heart muscle.
Multiple Heart Blockages
Complex obstructions across several arteries, including triple-vessel disease.
Left Main Artery Disease
High-priority narrowing in the primary artery supplying the left side of the heart.
Heart Valve Disorders
Leaking (regurgitation) or narrowed (stenosis) aortic or mitral valves.
Aortic Aneurysms
Dangerous bulging or weakening in the wall of the body's main artery.
Varicose Veins
Painful, swollen, or twisted leg veins requiring modern laser closure.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Critical blood clots in the deep leg veins requiring specialised clearing.
Recurrent Blockages
Advanced evaluation for patients with failed previous angioplasties or requiring redo surgeries.
When Should You Consult a Cardiac Surgeon?
A cardiac surgeon is generally involved when heart disease may require surgical treatment rather than medicines or catheter-based treatment alone. Cardiologists and cardiac surgeons often work together to determine the most appropriate treatment based on the patient's symptoms, angiography or imaging findings, heart function and overall health.
Multiple or complex coronary artery blockages
Severe heart valve disease
Aortic aneurysm or aortic disease
Previous angioplasty or heart surgery needing further treatment
Advanced heart failure needing surgical evaluation
A second opinion before recommended heart surgery
What Is a CVTS (Cardiothoracic) Surgeon?
CVTS stands for Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery. A CVTS surgeon, also called a cardiothoracic surgeon, operates on the heart, the major blood vessels such as the aorta, and the organs of the chest. In India, the specialist qualification is an M.Ch (Magister Chirurgiae) in Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, a super-speciality degree that typically follows a master's degree in general surgery.
Common operations include coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), heart valve repair and replacement and surgery on the aorta. Dr. Amjad Shaikh completed his M.Ch in Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery at Bombay Hospital and Research Centre, Mumbai, after an M.S. in General Surgery.
Cardiologist vs Cardiac Surgeon: What's the Difference?
A cardiologist primarily diagnoses and manages heart conditions using medicines, investigations and catheter-based treatments where appropriate. A cardiac surgeon specialises in surgical treatment of heart and major blood-vessel conditions, including coronary artery bypass surgery, heart valve surgery and aortic surgery.
Patients are often referred to a cardiac surgeon after investigations such as angiography or echocardiography show that surgery may need to be considered. For complex heart conditions, the cardiologist and cardiac surgeon may work together as part of a multidisciplinary heart team to decide the treatment approach.

Google ReviewDoctor profession is NOBLE profession. but in today's world many doctors only concerned about making money. I am heart patient since 12 years, I have met various doctors in my life for myself & for my relatives/friends. I had a very bad experience regarding heart doctors for myself. But after I met Dr Amjad Shaikh through my friend whom he is operated bypass surgery in the past. Today i come to know about him he is straight (not greedy), he doesn't misguide to the patient. That's what I like him for. A GOOD DOCTOR

Google ReviewI want to sincerely thank you for the way you handled my husband's bypass surgery which was very delicate and critical. Your professionalism, skill, and compassion turned a very stressful time into one I could face with confidence. From the way you explained everything clearly to the care you showed before and after the procedure, you made me and my loved ones feel safe and supported. I will always remain grateful for the successful outcome and the kindness you’ve shown. I Strongly Recommend Dr AMJAD SHAIKH.

Google Review18th june 2026 is a date that will always stay close to my heart. On this day, my mother underwent an open-heart surgery - a moment filled with fear, prayers, hope, and trust.. Words cannot express our gratitude to you, Dr. Amjad sir. You performed a highly successful bypass surgery for my mother and truly gave her a new lease on life. Before the surgery, my family was extremely anxious, but your reassuring words and exceptional expertise gave us immense comfort. You are not just an incredibly skilled surgeon, but also a compassionate human being. We are forever grateful to you for saving my mother's life. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate cardiac surgeon...
