Coronary Artery Disease Treatment by Best Cardiologist in India

Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked. Depending on the severity and location, treatment may include lifestyle modification, medication or interventional procedures including complex LMCA, bifurcation and CTO interventions.

Coronary Angiography in Delhi

Coronary Angiography

Coronary angiography is a diagnostic procedure used to visualize the coronary arteries and identify significant narrowing or blockages. It helps the cardiology team understand the location and extent of disease and plan further treatment.

Coronary Angioplasty by Best Cardiologist in India

Coronary Angioplasty

Coronary angioplasty (PCI) is a minimally invasive procedure used to restore blood flow through narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. Advanced techniques are used for complex lesions including left main, bifurcation and chronic total occlusions.

Sudden Cardiac Death Treatment

Sudden Cardiac Death

Sudden Cardiac Death is an unexpected loss of heart function caused by an electrical problem. It is a medical emergency. Prompt recognition and treatment can be life-saving. Device therapy may be recommended in selected high-risk patients.

Learn More
Pacemaker Implantation

Pacemaker Implantation

A pacemaker helps regulate certain slow or irregular heart rhythms. Conventional and leadless (Micra) pacemakers may be recommended for selected patients with abnormalities of the heart’s electrical conduction system.

Learn More
AICD ICD Implantation

AICD / ICD Implantation

An Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD/AICD) detects and treats certain potentially dangerous ventricular arrhythmias. It is recommended for patients who meet specific clinical criteria.

Learn More
Electrophysiology and RFA

Electrophysiology & Radiofrequency Ablation

An EP study evaluates the electrical activity of the heart. Radiofrequency ablation can treat arrhythmias such as PSVT, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation and certain ventricular tachycardias using 3D mapping guidance when appropriate.

Learn More
TAVI TAVR Procedure

TAVI / TAVR

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI/TAVR) is a catheter-based procedure to replace a diseased aortic valve without open-heart surgery. Suitability depends on detailed multidisciplinary evaluation.

Advanced Treatment for Complex Heart Blockages

Not every coronary blockage is straightforward. Some patients require specialized interventional techniques.

Some patients have heavily calcified arteries, chronic total occlusions, left main disease or complex bifurcation lesions. These cases may require detailed assessment and specialized interventional techniques.

CTO Intervention: A Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) is a coronary artery that has been completely blocked for an extended period. CTO interventions can require advanced catheter-based techniques and careful assessment of coronary anatomy.

LMCA Intervention: The Left Main Coronary Artery (LMCA) supplies blood to a major portion of the heart muscle. Disease in this artery requires careful evaluation and treatment planning.

Rotablation: Rotational atherectomy may be used in selected patients with heavily calcified coronary arteries to facilitate treatment of difficult lesions.

Intravascular Imaging & Physiology: Techniques such as IVUS, OCT, FFR and iFR provide detailed information about coronary arteries and help guide selected interventions. Dr. Tripathi’s expertise also includes Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL).
