About Doctor

As one of Chennai’s leading cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons, Dr Ajay Narasimhan has specialised training in treating various heart and lung conditions through delicate and complex operations.

Dr Ajay has treated many cases of coronary artery disease (artery blockage). These defective heart valves, blocked or narrowed valves, and weak heart muscles cause cardiomyopathy, cardiac failure, and myocardial infarction (heart attack). He also treats dilated blood vessels or aneurysms in the aorta, bleeding in the aorta walls, lung cancers, cancers that affect the chest cavity, and other conditions affecting the oesophagus (food pipe) and the trachea (windpipe).

To treat these conditions, cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons like Dr Narasimhan perform various procedures. Coronary artery bypass surgery reroutes blood flow around a blocked or narrowed artery in the heart. Angiographies and angioplasties help to get rid of blockages in the blood vessels of the heart. In addition, he repairs or replaces damaged or diseased heart valves and removes part or all of a lung to treat cancer. He performs delicate surgeries on blood vessels that are dilated or ruptured during aneurysm repair. Dr Narasimhan also conducts peripheral vascular surgery to treat blocked arteries in the arms or legs.
