Dr. Nishith Chandra, is a Principal Director of Interventional Cardiology at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, New Delhi. He has been at Fortis for the last 30 years. 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. The risk of repeat blockages and stent thrombosis is markedly reduced by utilising intra coronary imaging. Imaging also guides whether the stent is required or not. Besides this, Dr. Chandra has been the in-charge of the Emergency and Heart Command Centre of Escorts Heart Institute, for more than two decades. 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. Chandra also has a keen interest in medical informatics and electronic medical records and is involved in digitizing the Cath lab processes. Dr. Chandra has authored many publications in peer reviewed national and international journals and has written chapters in many books.
