Department head in any teaching hospitals, corporate hospitals, and live CME program in interventional cardiology. He had vast experience in complicated CAD management in cathlab with Impella device, tandem heart, IABP, rot ablator, IVUS, FFR and other atherectomy devices. I have given best results in PCI in ACS with multivessels stenting addition with severe co- morbidities. I have excellent skill to manage cathlab, ICCU, non invasive cardiology lab and research work.
First in the World Procedures: Dr AM Thirugnanam, had performed retrograde left common carotid angioplasty in a young lady with Takayasu Arteritis in the year 2019 and widely appreciated by world forum of cardiologists. In addition to his record, in the year 2006 he saved one of his patient who had severe left main coronary artery disease with cardiogenic shock by unprotected left main angioplasty.
In 2012, first left Main artery total occlusion in a patient with severe heart failure, without cardiac device support where the facility were not available to save lives, performed left main angioplasty and successfully saved the patient. Then the case was presented in TCT 2012 Miami conference.
