Expertise & Skills

Heart-failure therapy and pacing:

He has got vast experience and forte in the treatment of heart-failure patients and trained at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre, Los-Angeles, USA in the Department of Heart-Failure and Cardiac Transplantation. He has experience with device-therapy for heart-failure and bridge to heart-transplant therapies as Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) implantation, Cardiac Re-synchronization Therapy (CRT) and is also proficient with the use of Impella device and Ventricular assist devices (VAD) in treatment of heart-failure. He also has a huge experience in the treatment of brady-arrhythmias with Pacemaker Implantation.

Valve interventions:

He underwent a Fellowship in TAVR and Structural Heart Diseases at Gottsegen Gyorgy Orszagos Kardiovaszakularis Intezet (GOKVI) Hospital, Budapest, Hungary (2023) and he has also trained in structural heart interventions as Transcatheter aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), Trans-Mitral Valve Repair (TMVR), Mitra-Clip and Left atrial appendage (LAA) closure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre, Los-Angeles, USA. He is also an expert with valve interventions as Balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV) or Percutaneous Trans-venous Mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) and has the world renowned experience of performing it in women at term-pregnancy.

Complex coronary angioplasty:

He has proven skill and experience in performing the most complex of complex angioplasties like rotablation angioplasty of calcified blocks, by-pass graft angioplasty, chronic total occlusion, left-main and bifurcation angioplasty.

Coronary imaging and physiology:

He is highly proficient in coronary imaging with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Intra- Vascular Ultra Sound Imaging (IVUS) in the optimization of coronary angioplasty. And also in coronary physiologic assessment with FFR, RFR and IFR. He is amongst the first in South India to use IVUS, OCT and FFR in coronary procedures and has given many lectures and written chapters on the same.

Invited speaker & faculty:

He is an invited faculty and speaker in all the top international and national conferences and has delivered over 75 scientific talks which includes “Tips and tricks” lectures on complex interventions.is also highly acclaimed in academics, having authored 10 chapters in cardiology in 10 cardiology books and authored several articles in peer reviewed journals.
