Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, New Delhi — Asia-Pacific's Largest Private Cardiac Hospital
About The Hospital
Fortis Escorts Heart Institute
Okhla Road, New Delhi 110 025, India
Fortis Escorts Heart Institute (FEHI) in New Delhi occupies a unique position in Asian healthcare: it is Asia-Pacific's largest private cardiac hospital, with 310 beds dedicated exclusively to the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients with heart disease. Founded in 1988 under the pioneering leadership of Dr. Naresh Trehan — one of India's most internationally acclaimed cardiac surgeons, trained at the NYU Medical Centre in New York — FEHI has, over more than three decades, treated over 1.4 million patients from more than 150 countries, performing over 45,000 open-heart surgeries and more than 100,000 cardiac catheterisation procedures.
The institute is accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI), the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals (NABH), and holds ISO 9001 certification — a triple quality certification that underlines its absolute commitment to patient safety, clinical outcomes, and operational excellence. FEHI is a dedicated cardiac hospital, which means every element of its infrastructure, every member of its staff, and every protocol it follows has been optimised for one purpose: delivering the best possible outcomes for patients with heart disease.
Cardiac surgery at FEHI encompasses the full spectrum of heart operations: coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) — both on-pump and off-pump (beating heart surgery); valve repair and replacement for all four heart valves; aortic aneurysm and aortic root surgery; adult congenital heart disease repair; cardiac tumour surgery; and redo cardiac surgery for patients who have had prior heart operations. The minimally invasive cardiac surgery programme at FEHI performs valve procedures through small incisions (port-access surgery), dramatically reducing recovery time.
The interventional cardiology team at FEHI is one of the busiest in Asia, with expertise in complex coronary angioplasty (left main and bifurcation stenting, chronic total occlusion angioplasty), structural heart disease (TAVR, MitraClip, PFO and ASD closure), and cardiac electrophysiology (catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia ablation, pacemaker and ICD/CRT implantation).
International patients — who represent approximately 30% of FEHI's total patient volume — receive dedicated support from a multilingual international care team that manages the entire care journey from pre-travel telemedicine consultation through discharge and home country follow-up.
