About Dr. Niranjan Hiremath

Dr. Niranjan Hiremath is an internationally trained Cardiac and Aortic Surgeon serving as Surgical Lead of the Aortic Center of Excellence at Apollo Hospitals, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru. With over 14 years of clinical experience, he is widely recognized for his expertise in complex aortic pathology, structural heart surgery, and hybrid surgical approaches. His training encompasses advanced fellowships in Aortic, Cardiac, and Endovascular Surgery, including specialized certification in Aortic and Structural Heart procedures including TAVI from St. Michael's Hospital, University of Toronto, Canada, and he holds fellowship credentials from the American College of Surgeons (FACS) and international societies.
