Trusty Vascular surgeon with experience in various care settings. Strong background in providing quality care to patients of wide range of ages and backgrounds. Proven track record of successfully diagnosing and treating variety of chronic and acute medical conditions.

1. Critical limb ischemia and gangrene - angioplasty of the arteries of lower limb, aorto-bifemoral bypass, femoral-popliteal bypass, femoral - distal (ata,pta, Peroneal) bypass, femoral endarterectomy.

2. Acute limb ischemia - open Embolectomy procedures (transfemoral, transbrachial, popliteal, tibial)

3. Aortic aneurysms- open approach with aorto- biiliac or aorto femoral bypass with resection of aneurysm segment, stent grafting aneurysm.

4. Aortic dissection (type b) - stent grafting, debranching procedures 

5. Thoracic outlet syndrome - cervical or 1st rib excision with subclavian vein aneurysmorrhaphy, neurolysis

6. In chronic mesenteric ischemia - endovascular angioplasty / stenting of mesenteric vessels , open surgical bypass

7. In acute mesenteric ischemia - embolectomy to establish blood flow to gut

8. Carotid- for recent stroke/ Tia - carotid endarterectomy, carotid stenting , carotid body tumour resection , carotid body tumour embolization to reduce tumour size if needed

9. Ckd patients - creation of av fistula ( giving best possible option for access with the help of ultrasonography), fistulogram and fistuloplasty , central vein angiogram and angioplasty , creation of av graft , av graft embolectomy with arterial or venous end angioplasty , fistula salvage procedures like proximalisation of arterial inflow, rudi or drill procedures, for delayed maturation of fistula - balloon assisted maturation of fistula , branch ligation under USG guidance, insertion of permacath or temp cath under guidance , renal artery angioplasty / stenting in refractory hypertension and flash pulmonary edema.

10. Venous - RFA or laser ablation of varicose veins, foam sclerotherapy, liquid sclerotherapy for spider veins and telangiectatic veins, stab phlebectomies

11. For pelvic congestion syndrome - in OBG, endovascular approach by sclerotherapy, embolization of tortuous vessels

12. Open surgeries for nut cracker syndrome

13. Venous ulcers - compression therapy along with RFA/laser surgery, Venogram and venoplasty, use of IVUS for better understanding of external compression, open surgeries such as Palma’s procedure, ilio-caval bypass

14. Trauma - interposition bypass during trauma

15. Av malformation - embolization of feeder arteries along with stage wise debulking procedures, ultrasound guided bleomycin for venous lymphatic malformation

16. Oncosurgery - for arterial reconstructions for tumours encasing major arteries , veins , ivc thrombectomy

17. Acute deep venous thrombosis - endovascular options like catheter directed thrombosis, aspiration of thrombus, rheolytic removal of thrombus with Angiojet, ivc filter insertion

18. Pulmonary embolism - endovascular option for clot aspiration and catheter directed thrombolysis when patient is hemodynamically unstable 

19. Open groin exposure for any cardiology procedures

20. Diabetic foot surgery, adequate debridement, internal offloading surgeries, external offloading procedures, amputations.
