FACC and FSCAI Credentialled Interventional Cardiologist with 5,000+ Angioplasties, 70+ Publications, and IVUS Proctor Status

Interventional cardiology is a sub specialty where procedural volume, advanced imaging capability, and sustained academic engagement together determine the complexity of cases a practitioner can safely manage. Dr Vivek's profile combines DM Cardiology from Kasturba Medical College (with Gold Medal and Scholarship recognition during training), FACC from the American College of Cardiology, and FSCAI from the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, placing him among the small group of Indian interventional cardiologists with dual international fellowship recognition from both ACC and SCAI.

His 5,000+ coronary angioplasty volume encompasses the most technically demanding coronary procedures including chronic total occlusion interventions, bifurcation stenting, and rotational atherectomy, while his role as proctor in IVUS and rotablation reflects recognition by device and imaging companies of his capability to train other interventional cardiologists. His 70+ PubMed-indexed publications place him among the most academically productive interventional cardiologists in Indian practice. His dual scope across adult and paediatric interventional cardiology, including device closure of congenital heart defects and structural heart interventions such as alcohol septal ablation for HOCM, further extends his clinical breadth. Combined with six language fluency and dual practice at Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road (₹1250) and his own Heart and Internal Medicine Clinic Vijayanagar (₹800), this depth of internationally credentialled, high-volume interventional cardiac expertise is now offered across two Bangalore locations.
