He is also involved in training others these procedures in India as well as abroad. He is also regularly invited as faculty with respect to these procedures in India as well as abroad.
Apart from TAVI he is also well trained to perform other complex structural heart disease procedures. He is also an expert in the field of Left main intervention, chronic total occlusion (CTO) and other complex procedures and regularly conducts workshop at various places. He also performs carotid and aorto-iliac interventions including intervention for aortic aneurysm and dissections. He also has a good experience in advanced catheter based treatment of hypertension (Renal artery denervation).
