Fast forward five millenia, a young nation at 78 places the aortic cross clamp most of others on a per diem basis. Somewhere in between, Donald Nixon Ross, who has been interred in this great Hall of Fame [1] opined that \u201cit is rare to know of surgeons who can perform an operation better and often, seamless than its namesake, and among the few there are, Sampath Kumar is one\u201d. It gives us great pleasure to introduce at the time of his induction in the Paediatric Cardiology Hall of Fame, one of finest humans our profession is privileged to have \u2013 Professor Arkalgud Sampath Kumar. Kumar has earned the peerage accorded to few surgeons in our milieu for his lifelong commitment to patientcare, teaching, research and innovation \u2013 making him the definition of a quadruple threat in academic surgery. Coming from Professor Anderson, we deem it an honor to present this character-sketch of this gentleman surgeon and mentor, who has the rare distinction of expanding the horizons of paediatric cardiovascular surgical care in the public, private and philanthropic institutions, among others through this encomium.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1047951125101042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,26]],"date-time":"2025-08-26T13:07:06Z","timestamp":1756213626000},"page":"1-14","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Paediatric cardiology\u2014Hall of Fame : Arkalgud Sampath Kumar"],"prefix":"10.1017","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9241-4187","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aditya Narsipur","family":"Doddamane","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"GITAM Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, GITAM Deemed to be University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0999-7180","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Smruti Ranjan","family":"Mohanty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Children\u2019s Heart Center, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital & Medical Research Institute"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0561-0257","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Krishna Subramony","family":"Iyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric & Congenital Heart Surgery, Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, Okhla Road"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1047951125101042_ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/021849239500300413"},{"key":"S1047951125101042_ref53","first-page":"133","article-title":"Transaortic double valve replacement with chordal preservation","volume":"29","author":"Abraham","year":"2002","journal-title":"Tex Heart Inst J"},{"key":"S1047951125101042_ref58","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0167-5273(85)90236-0"},{"key":"S1047951125101042_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-4975(10)61313-6"},{"key":"S1047951125101042_ref49","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5223(03)00348-9"},{"key":"S1047951125101042_ref51","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.athoracsur.2007.04.067"},{"key":"S1047951125101042_ref43","first-page":"221","article-title":"Aortic valve replacement with a homovital valve","volume":"24","author":"Mehrotra","year":"1997","journal-title":"Tex Heart Inst J"},{"key":"S1047951125101042_ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0003-4975(95)94073-A"},{"key":"S1047951125101042_ref55","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1510\/icvts.2009.203034"},{"key":"S1047951125101042_ref61","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1047951100005631"},{"key":"S1047951125101042_ref48","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtcvs.2008.11.063"},{"key":"S1047951125101042_ref14","first-page":"161","article-title":"Mitral valve reconstruction: intermediate term results in rheumatic mitral regurgitation","volume":"3","author":"Kumar","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Heart Valve Dis"},{"key":"S1047951125101042_ref5","first-page":"89","article-title":"Experience with coronary artery bypass grafting in India","volume":"8","author":"Venugopal","year":"1987","journal-title":"Thai J Surg"},{"key":"S1047951125101042_ref17","unstructured":"17.
