Dr. Amit Kumar Chaurasia

Professional Experience and Leadership

Dr. Amit Kumar Chaurasia is a distinguished Interventional Cardiologist, holding the prestigious designation of Chief Cath Lab & TAVI (Unit I). His extensive experience spans over a decade in advanced cardiac interventions, with a particular focus on Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation/Replacement (TAVI/TAVR) and complex structural heart diseases. He is recognized as a pioneering figure in TAVI procedures in India, serving as one of the first proctors for this life-saving treatment. His tenure at leading institutions like EHCC, Jaipur, and Artemis Hospitals, Gurugram, highlights his leadership in establishing and directing TAVI/TAVR and Structural Heart Disease programs.

Distinguished Medical Education and Training

Dr. Chaurasia’s foundation in medical excellence is built upon an impressive academic lineage, having graduated from three of India’s premier medical institutions. He completed his MBBS at JIPMER, Pondicherry, followed by his MD in Internal Medicine from AIIMS, New Delhi. His specialization in Cardiology was achieved through a DM in Cardiology from SCTIMST, Trivandrum. Further enhancing his expertise, he completed a Fellowship in Complex Coronary and Structural Heart Disease in Budapest, Hungary, where he honed his skills for approximately three years.

Core Clinical Expertise and Procedural Prowess

Dr. Chaurasia is renowned for his mastery in a wide array of interventional cardiology procedures. His specialization in TAVI/TAVR is underscored by performing over 1000 procedures, a testament to his advanced skill set. He is also adept at Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement (TPVR), Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacements (TMVR), and Mitra-clip procedures, with a significant number of successful Left Atrial Appendage Closures (over 50) to his credit. His comprehensive capabilities extend to complex coronary interventions, including Left Main, Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO), and Rotational Atherectomy. He has successfully performed over 10,000 cardiac procedures, demonstrating breadth and depth in his interventional practice. His expertise also includes device closures for congenital heart defects (ASD, VSD, PDA), peripheral interventions (carotid, aortoiliac, renal artery denervation for hypertension), and management of aortic aneurysms and dissections (TEVAR/EVAR).

Authoritative Contributions and Academic Acumen

As a Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology and the Asia Pacific Society of Interventional Cardiology, Dr. Chaurasia is recognized globally for his contributions to cardiovascular medicine. He actively shapes the field through his roles as a course director, faculty member, and trainer for numerous national and international cardiology conferences. His commitment to advancing interventional techniques is evident in his extensive involvement in workshops, where he has trained many physicians in India and abroad on complex procedures. His published research, including impactful studies in journals with notable impact factors, further solidifies his position as an authoritative voice in interventional cardiology.

Extensive Teaching and Research Experience

Dr. Chaurasia possesses a strong commitment to medical education and research. He has served as a DNB cardiology advanced trainee supervisor at Artemis Hospital and BLK Superspeciality Hospital, guiding the next generation of cardiologists. His academic roles have also included Assistant Professor positions at renowned institutions in India and Nepal. His research portfolio is extensive, including his MD thesis on Endothelial Dysfunction in Rheumatoid Arthritis, presented at the EULAR conference, and his DM thesis focusing on factors influencing restenosis post-balloon mitral valvotomy. He has been actively involved in numerous research projects during his fellowship, contributing to studies on TAVI, low-flow gradient aortic stenosis, and frailty scoring for TAVI patients.

Select Publications and Research Contributions

Dr. Chaurasia has authored and co-authored numerous significant publications in peer-reviewed journals, contributing valuable insights into interventional cardiology. Notable works include studies on the use of Doppler-derived end-diastolic flow gradient in coiling for ductal occlusion, clinical profiles of heart failure patients, and the association between corrected transposition of great arteries and anomalous pulmonary venous connections. His research also extends to outcomes of unprotected left main percutaneous coronary interventions and the first 200 transcatheter aortic valve implantations at a leading Hungarian institute. Several papers are also currently under review, further demonstrating his ongoing engagement with the scientific community.
