Dr. Chandra has been actively involved in the field of Interventional Cardiology for more than 30 years. As an accomplished interventional cardiologist, he is very experienced at treating patients with complex coronary interventions including Rotablation, Intra Vascular Lithotripsy, Impella Assisted Complex Interventions, Carotid Interventions, Balloon Valvotomies and Peripheral Vascular Interventions. He has a unique way of doing image guided precision angioplasty, using advanced Intra coronary imaging techniques such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and IntraVascular Ultrasound (IVUS), which makes the angioplasty procedure extremely safe.

He has also been instrumental in setting up the highly acclaimed Air Ambulance Unit of Escorts Heart Institute that has enabled the transportation of more than 300 critically sick patients from all over India and neighbouring countries.
