Dr. Vikram Reddy Aerra — Senior Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon in Hyderabad

Dr. Vikram Reddy Aerra is a Senior Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon at Yashoda Hospitals, Hi-Tech City, in Hyderabad, with more than 24 years of experience. His profile records cardiac surgery together with interventional aortic procedures.

His list covers coronary artery bypass grafting, heart valve repair and replacement, double valve replacement and multiple valve surgery, aortic root replacement, minimally invasive cardiac surgery, and TAVI and TAVR.

He read MBBS at Gandhi Medical College in Hyderabad and took his MS in general surgery at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh, then his MCh in cardiothoracic surgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi. His UK qualifications followed: the FRCS of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, and the FRCS in cardiothoracic surgery from its intercollegiate board.

His published work in the Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery covers two very different problems: the prevention of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass surgery, which is among the commonest complications of the operation that heads his list, and cardiac surgery in patients who have previously had a pneumonectomy, which is among the rarest situations a cardiac surgeon meets.

He has presented at the SCTS annual meeting in Edinburgh, the ATCSA congress in Manila and EACTS in Barcelona, and is a member of the Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons.

His hospital record spans three countries. Alongside Yashoda Hospitals he has worked at Apollo Hospitals, Citizens Hospital and Care Hospital in Hyderabad, at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital in Enugu, and at the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Trust.
