Ongoing Research & Clinical Interests

• Endovascular outcomes in complex aortic aneurysm repair
• Long-term bypass graft patency in peripheral arterial disease
• Diabetic limb salvage outcomes in Indian populations

A patient with a juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm unsuitable for standard EVAR underwent fenestrated EVAR under Dr. Mahajan's supervision, achieving complete aneurysm exclusion with preservation of renal arterial flow and ICU discharge within 48 hours.

A patient with bilateral iliac artery occlusion causing severe claudication and rest pain underwent aorto-bifemoral bypass grafting, achieving complete restoration of limb perfusion with Ankle-Brachial Index improvement from 0.4 to 0.9 at three-month follow-up.

• Exceptional Technical Range: Patients and cardiologists highlight Dr. Mahajan's ability to offer both open surgical and endovascular solutions, choosing the safest approach for each individual patient.
• UK-Trained Professionalism: International patients from the UK note the familiarity of his communication style, clinical protocols, and discharge documentation for continuity of care at home.
• Critical Limb Salvage Commitment: Diabetic patients with foot disease commend his persistent efforts to revascularise and avoid amputation before exhausting all surgical options.

Patient-Centred Care

Dr. Rakesh Mahajan takes a comprehensive, patient-tailored approach to vascular disease management. He conducts detailed pre-operative vascular workup — including CT angiography, duplex ultrasound, and cardiorespiratory risk assessment — before deciding between open and endovascular strategies. He involves patients fully in the choice of treatment approach, explaining the relative risks and recovery profiles of each option, and provides structured post-operative follow-up including imaging surveillance and antiplatelet/anticoagulation management.

Technology & Innovation

Dr. Mahajan employs fenestrated and branched EVAR platforms for complex juxtarenal aneurysms, hybrid operating room setup for combined open and endovascular procedures, catheter-directed thrombolysis for acute DVT and arterial occlusion, and endovenous laser systems for varicose vein ablation. He follows ESVS and NICE vascular surgery guidelines in clinical decision-making, consistent with his UK Royal College training.
