Dr. Aseem R. Srivastava

An 18-month-old boy from an affluent Delhi family was diagnosed with anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA). The parents had consulted specialists in three countries before choosing Dr. Srivastava. He performed successful reimplantation surgery, and the child's myocardial function recovered completely within six months, with the family establishing a foundation to support other children with congenital heart disease.

A newborn from a middle-class Jaipur family was rushed to Artemis with critical aortic stenosis. Dr. Srivastava performed an emergency balloon valvuloplasty when the infant was just 48 hours old. The procedure was successful, and the baby was discharged after ten days, requiring only periodic follow-up echocardiograms.

A 12-year-old street child brought in by a NGO social worker had a large ventricular septal defect with severe pulmonary hypertension. Dr. Srivastava determined the child was still operable and performed a complex VSD closure with pulmonary artery reconstruction. The surgery was funded entirely by hospital charity funds, and the child now lives with a foster family and attends school regularly.

A 4-year-old from Mumbai with heterotaxy syndrome and complex single ventricle physiology underwent staged Fontan procedure under Dr. Srivastava's care. The parents, both doctors themselves, were intimately involved in every decision. The final Fontan completion was successful, and the child now participates in modified physical activities at school.

A 7-year-old girl from a remote Himalayan village presented with cyanotic spells due to unrepaired Tetralogy of Fallot. Her family had traveled for three days by foot and bus to reach Artemis. Dr. Srivastava performed a complete repair using a transannular patch. The girl, who had never been able to play with other children, was running through the hospital corridors within two weeks, her oxygen saturation normal for the first time in her life.
