About
Naresh Trehan is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose research has profoundly advanced minimally invasive and robotic-assisted cardiac surgery. His work spans robotic coronary artery bypass grafting, mitral valve repair, and endoscopic cardiac procedures, establishing him as a leading figure in the adoption of telemanipulation technology in cardiovascular medicine. Trehan's most impactful contribution examines pain management following robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass surgery, comparing thoracic epidural analgesia with paravertebral block techniques — a study that has garnered 80 citations and remains a key reference for perioperative care in minimally invasive cardiac surgery. His landmark 2006 paper on totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass surgery using the da Vinci robotic system further cemented his reputation as an early adopter and innovator in the field. Across multiple studies involving hundreds of patients, Trehan demonstrated the feasibility, precision, and clinical advantages of robotically enhanced cardiac procedures on both beating and arrested hearts. Beyond the operating theatre, his 2020 essay on reimagining private healthcare in India reflects a broader commitment to healthcare systems reform. With a cumulative body of work earning over 130 citations, Trehan's research continues to influence surgical training, patient outcomes, and the evolving landscape of cardiac care globally.
