His expertise includes complex coronary intervention, structural-heart procedures, peripheral and carotid intervention and cardiac-device implantation. Manipal specifically lists advanced coronary techniques using atherectomy, intravascular lithotripsy and intravascular imaging, as well as TAVI, left-atrial-appendage closure, adult congenital interventions and LBB pacing, CRT and ICD implantation.

Dr Patra is also active in teaching and research. Manipal notes that he teaches DNB Cardiology and has more than 100 articles indexed in PubMed. His professional memberships include the Cardiological Society of India, American College of Cardiology, Indian College of Cardiology and European cardiology organisations. He speaks Hindi, English and Bengali.

For an interventional-cardiology opinion, patients should provide ECGs, echocardiograms, CT-coronary or angiography images, previous stent or device records and a current medication list. Treatment may involve medication, complex PCI, structural intervention, peripheral or carotid treatment or rhythm-device therapy.

The exact approach depends on coronary and valve anatomy, symptoms, ventricular function, kidney function, bleeding risk and previous procedures. A precise numeric experience value is not entered because the current Manipal profile states only “over a decade” rather than an exact figure. Follow-up after complex intervention may include antiplatelet therapy, device surveillance and repeat cardiac imaging.
