About Dr. Bharat Vijay Purohit

Dr. Bharat Vijay Purohit is a Senior Consultant Interventional Cardiologist and Director of the Catheterisation Laboratory at Yashoda Hospitals, Hi-Tech City in Hyderabad, India. With over 22 years of clinical practice, he brings extensive expertise in advanced cardiac interventions and has established himself as a pioneer in introducing cutting-edge cardiac technologies to the region. His academic credentials include an MBBS from SCB Medical College, Cuttack (1993), an MD in General Medicine from MKCG Medical College, Barhampur (1998), and a DM in Cardiology from SCB Medical College, Cuttack (2004). He holds fellowships from the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (FSCAI), the American College of Cardiology (FACC), and the European Society of Cardiology (FESC), underscoring his commitment to international standards of care.

Dr. Purohit specialises in a comprehensive range of interventional cardiology procedures, including transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), complex coronary interventions, coronary angioplasty and stenting, and leadless pacemaker implantation. He has performed over 500 coronary interventions using the radial approach and has extensive experience with advanced procedures such as chronic total occlusion interventions, left main stenting, rotablation, and left atrial appendage occlusion. He was among the first in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to initiate TAVR programmes and implant leadless pacemakers, and participated in early adoption of bio-absorbable stent technology in India. His proficiency in diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac catheterisation, combined with his expertise in managing complex valvular heart disease, makes him a trusted specialist for cases requiring precision and innovation.
