Dr. Amit Kumar Chaurasia
About the Doctor
Dr. Amit Kumar Chaurasia treats heart valve and structure problems through thin tubes in the blood vessels. At Artemis Hospital in Gurugram, India, he is Chief Cath Lab & TAVI (Unit I). In TAVI/TAVR, a narrow aortic valve is replaced through a thin tube. He was one of India's first TAVI trainers. He has done over 1,000 TAVIs and over 10,000 heart procedures in all.
He also replaces pulmonary and mitral valves this way. He fits the MitraClip (for a leaky mitral valve) and widens narrow ones with a balloon. He has closed the left atrial appendage (a clot-prone pouch) in over 50 patients. He opens hard blockages, such as left main and CTO (fully blocked) arteries.
He closes ASD, VSD and PDA holes in the heart with devices. He treats narrowed neck and pelvic arteries. He repairs a weak or torn aorta with stent grafts (TEVAR and EVAR). Renal denervation calms kidney nerves to lower blood pressure.
He studied at JIPMER, Pondicherry, and gained his MD in Internal Medicine at AIIMS, New Delhi. His DM in Cardiology is from SCTIMST, Trivandrum. He then worked about three years at GOKI, Budapest, Hungary, training in complex heart disease. He is a Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology and of the Asia Pacific Society of Interventional Cardiology. Medwell can book your visit.
