Dr. Niket Arora

My 82-year-old mother required emergency aortic valve replacement after collapsing at home. Dr. Arora's team performed life-saving surgery within hours, and his compassionate post-op care included daily family updates. She now tends her garden with more energy than she's had in a decade.

A construction worker who suffered a penetrating thoracic trauma from a workplace accident, I was rushed to Manipal Hospital where Dr. Arora reconstructed my damaged pulmonary vessels. His innovative technique using bio-scaffolds prevented permanent disability, and I returned to light duty within months.

Our 7-year-old daughter was born with a rare cardiac anomaly that multiple surgeons deemed inoperable. Dr. Arora developed a groundbreaking hybrid procedure combining catheterization and micro-surgery. She now leads an active childhood with no medications needed.

As a maritime engineer working overseas, I developed an ascending aortic aneurysm detected during a foreign physical. Dr. Arora coordinated my care across continents and performed a complex root replacement. His telemedicine follow-ups allowed me to recover aboard ship without compromising my career.

As a 28-year-old professional athlete, discovering a congenital heart defect during a routine check-up was devastating. Dr. Niket Arora not only performed a minimally invasive repair at Manipal Hospital EM Bypass but tailored my recovery to maintain athletic conditioning. I returned to competitive sports in record time with better cardiac output than ever before.
