Dr. Krishna Iyer is one of the best pediatric cardiac surgeons in India. He is known for his exceptional clinical skills and extensive involvement in advancing cardiac care for children in India and other developing nations.
In 1995, Dr. Iyer established the first dedicated pediatric cardiac care program in Northern India at Escorts Heart Institute Research Centre (now Fortis-Escorts Heart Institute), setting a new standard for pediatric cardiac care in India and its neighboring countries.
With his guidance, this program has become a model for cardiac care for children in the region.
Dr. Iyer has performed over 10,000 surgeries on babies, children, and adults with congenital heart diseases, including a wide range of complex procedures.
He has also significantly contributed to the field, pioneering India's rapid two-stage arterial switch procedure.
His current focus includes refining complex neonatal cardiac surgery, addressing cardiac issues in malnourished infants and children, providing care for late-presenting congenital heart disease cases, and developing cost-effective cardiac care solutions for children in developing countries.
After completing his basic training, Dr. Iyer joined the Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery at AIIMS and was an Additional Professor then.
He later joined Escorts Heart Institute to establish its pediatric cardiac care division.
Dr. Iyer is also actively involved in charitable initiatives for underprivileged children, notably contributing to Rotary International's 'Gift of Life' program.
He got training in pediatric and infant cardiac surgery under the guidance of the renowned pediatric cardiac surgeon Dr. R.B.B.Mee as a Senior Fellow at the Department of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery at Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, in Australia, in 1989.

"VivaVel" has truly made a life-changing impact on our lives during a challenging time. My wife was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD), and despite consulting three different doctors in Bangladesh, we were unsatisfied and uncertain about the way forward. It was a confusing and challenging phase until a friend recommended VivaVel.
From the moment "I contacted them", VivaVel provided exceptional support and guidance. They arranged telemedicine consultations with two renowned international doctors, giving us the confidence to make an informed decision. After careful consideration, we selected one of the doctors for my wife's treatment.
VivaVel's assistance went above and beyond our expectations. They helped us with critical processes like obtaining a medical visa invitation letter, visa processing, and coordinating my wife's admission to "Artemis Hospital" in Delhi. They even suggested comfortable accommodations for me as a patient attendant.
What truly stood out was their unwavering support throughout our journey. The "VivaVel team" was always just a phone call away, offering guidance and reassurance during our stay in Delhi. Their professionalism and dedication to helping patients and their families are truly commendable.
I am incredibly grateful for the care and support from "VivaVel." They were a beacon of hope for us during this difficult time, and I sincerely hope they continue their outstanding service to help more needy patients.
Thank you, "VivaVel," for being there for us every step of the way!
