About Dr. Arvind Dambalkar

Dr. Arvind Dambalkar is a Senior Consultant and Head of Unit II, Interventional Cardiology at Sarvodaya Hospital in Faridabad, with over 17 years of clinical expertise. He holds a DM in Cardiology from AIIMS Delhi and an MD in Internal Medicine from PGI Chandigarh—credentials that reflect training at two of India's most prestigious medical institutions. His academic foundation provides the rigorous clinical discipline underlying his interventional practice.

Dr. Dambalkar specializes in a comprehensive range of advanced cardiac interventions. He performs coronary angioplasty and stenting with intravascular imaging guidance, coronary angiography, and complex chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions. His structural heart expertise includes transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR), and the innovative MitraClip procedure. He is also proficient in device-based therapies such as pacemaker implantation, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement, and leadless pacemaker insertion, alongside catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, and supraventricular tachycardia. His scope extends to peripheral and renal artery interventions as well as endovascular repair procedures.

Dr. Dambalkar has built a strong international patient practice, regularly treating patients from the Gulf region, Africa, and across South Asia who seek advanced cardiac care in India. He provides a welcoming environment for medical tourists, with staff experienced in coordinating cross-border consultations and care. His empathetic approach to patient education means international patients understand their condition and treatment options clearly, even when language differences exist initially.

Sarvodaya Hospital, located in Sector 8 of Faridabad, is a modern tertiary-care facility with advanced interventional suites, intensive cardiac care units, and full imaging support (including intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography). The hospital maintains high standards of infection control and patient safety, making it a trusted destination for international patients seeking world-standard cardiac interventions at accessible costs. Faridabad's proximity to Delhi and well-developed transport infrastructure facilitate easy access for international visitors.

For patients traveling from abroad, Dr. Dambalkar's combination of clinical depth, published research, and genuine commitment to international patient care makes him an excellent choice.
