Dr. Pramod Kumar Jaiswal

Dr. Pramod Kumar Jaiswal is Senior Consultant - Cardiology at SIMS Hospital, Chennai, with more than 34 years of experience. He completed MBBS and MD in General Medicine at Gandhi Medical College and DM in Cardiology at Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute of Medical Sciences and Technology, Trivandrum.

His practice focuses on complex coronary angioplasty and stenting, including high-volume single-vessel and multivessel PCI, selected left-main coronary stenting, primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction and intervention after previous CABG. SIMS also lists calcium-modification techniques using rotational atherectomy and intravascular lithotripsy for heavily calcified coronary disease.

Dr. Jaiswal also performs peripheral angioplasty, renal angioplasty and balloon mitral valvotomy. SIMS notes nine gold medals during his MBBS training and 25 research publications in national medical journals. His professional memberships include the Cardiological Society of India, Indian College of Cardiology and Indian Medical Association.

For an interventional-cardiology opinion, patients should provide ECGs, echocardiograms, stress testing, CT-coronary or angiography images, previous bypass or stent records and a current medication list.

The decision between medical therapy, PCI, calcium-modification techniques, peripheral intervention or valve intervention depends on symptoms, coronary or vascular anatomy, ventricular function, kidney function, bleeding risk and prior procedures. Acute myocardial infarction requires time-sensitive assessment, while stable complex coronary disease may need additional imaging, intravascular assessment or physiological testing before definitive treatment is finally selected carefully.
