About Dr. Nitin Kumar Rajput

Dr. Nitin Kumar Rajput is an Associate Director of Cardiac Surgery at Medanta – The Medicity in Gurugram, one of India's foremost cardiac care centers. A Fellow of the Indian Association of Cardiac Surgery (FIACS) with postgraduate training from C.S.M. Medical University and King George's Medical University, Dr. Rajput brings over 12 years of specialised experience in complex cardiothoracic and vascular surgery to every patient he treats.

Dr. Rajput is widely recognised for his clinical depth in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), redo CABG procedures, and multi-valve replacement surgery. He has particular expertise in minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) and robotic cardiac surgery, techniques that reduce patient recovery time and hospital stay. His surgical volume and outcomes reflect a commitment to precision and innovation, treating complex cases that other centers refer to him. He is an active member of the Indian Association of Cardiovascular & Vascular Surgeons (IACTS) and the Society of Minimally Invasive Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeons of India (SMICTSI), staying at the cutting edge of surgical technique.

Dr. Rajput welcomes international patients from across the Gulf, Africa, and South Asia. His fluency in English and Hindi, combined with Medanta's dedicated international patient desk, ensures seamless communication and personalised care coordination. Patients appreciate his methodical approach to pre-operative assessment and his transparent discussion of surgical options. He has treated patients from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and East Africa, many of whom travel specifically for his expertise in complex valve and coronary surgery.

Medanta – The Medicity is a JCI-accredited, 1,250-bed multi-specialty hospital with state-of-the-art cardiothoracic operating suites, advanced imaging (IVUS, OCT, 3D-echo), and a dedicated cardiac ICU. The hospital's international desk arranges travel logistics, visa support, and coordinated follow-up care. Gurugram's proximity to Delhi airport and well-developed medical tourism infrastructure make it an accessible destination for international patients. Dr. Rajput's presence here means complex cardiac cases are handled with world-level surgical expertise and Indian hospitality. International patients should know that cardiac surgery in India, under surgeons of Dr. Rajput's calibre, costs 60–70% less than North American or Western European centres, with comparable clinical outcomes and excellent post-operative support.
