About Me – Dr. Lakkireddy Kiran Kumar ReddyMy journey in medicine began with a deep commitment to improving lives through healthcare. After completing my MBBS, I pursued MD in General Medicine, which gave me a strong foundation in diagnosing and managing a wide spectrum of medical conditions. To advance my passion for cardiology, I went on to complete DM in Cardiology at JIPMER, Pondicherry, one of the most respected medical institutes in India.
At JIPMER, I was exposed to some of the most complex and challenging cardiac cases. This rigorous training sharpened my diagnostic acumen and procedural skills, while instilling the discipline required to deliver excellence in patient care.
Beyond formal education, I have consistently upgraded my knowledge through international fellowships, advanced training programs, and workshops focused on complex coronary interventions and structural heart disease therapies. These experiences allowed me to bring the latest global advancements in cardiology back to India, making them accessible to my patients.
As a Senior Interventional Cardiologist, I focus on treating patients with conditions that require advanced, minimally invasive cardiac procedures. My areas of expertise include both complex coronary interventions and structural heart disease management.
Many patients come to me with advanced or previously untreatable coronary blockages. I specialize in:
Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) interventions – reopening long-standing blocked arteries
Left main and bifurcation lesions – managing blockages in high-risk, critical areas
Multivessel coronary disease – providing complete revascularization strategies
High-risk angioplasty – with support systems such as Impella and ECMO
Radial and femoral access expertise – ensuring safety and patient comfort during procedures
Structural heart therapies are transforming how we manage patients who cannot undergo open-heart surgery. My expertise includes:
TAVR/TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement/Implantation) for severe aortic stenosis
MitraClip and other transcatheter mitral therapies for patients with mitral valve disease
Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation
Device closures (ASD, VSD, PDA) for congenital and acquired heart conditions
These procedures not only extend survival but also significantly improve patients’ quality of life, allowing them to return to daily activities with confidence.
While technology and expertise are essential, I believe that true healing begins with compassion and trust. Every patient is unique, and I approach each case with the understanding that beyond the disease, there is a human being with emotions, family, and aspirations.
Clear communication: Explaining complex medical conditions in simple, understandable language so that patients and families can make informed decisions.
Personalized care: Designing treatment plans tailored to each patient’s condition, lifestyle, and financial capacity.
Transparency: Offering honest opinions, second-opinion support, and evidence-based guidance without unnecessary interventions.
Empathy and reassurance: Providing comfort, not just treatment, especially for patients and families who are anxious about complex procedures.
Accessibility: Being approachable both during and after treatment, ensuring continuity of care and long-term support.
Many of my patients express that what makes them feel confident is not only the advanced procedures I perform but also the trust, care, and hope they experience throughout their
My dedication to cardiology has been acknowledged at several levels:
Best outgoing student during my postgraduate training in Medicine & Cardiology
Recognized nationally for pioneering work in CTO interventions and structural heart therapies
Invited as faculty and speaker at multiple cardiology conferences across India and internationally
Research papers and case presentations published in reputed peer-reviewed journals
Honored by community organizations for conducting free cardiac camps, awareness programs, and preventive health initiatives in underserved regions
Technical mastery in advanced cardiac procedures with a strong success record in high-risk cases
Leadership in guiding multidisciplinary cardiac teams and mentoring younger cardiologists
Patient engagement through empathy, clear communication, and shared decision-making
Adaptability and innovation, ensuring patients benefit from the latest scientific and technological advances
Commitment to affordable care, making advanced therapies accessible across socioeconomic segments
Heart disease is not just a medical condition; it is a challenge that impacts families, livelihoods, and communities. My mission is to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and affordable patient care.
I am committed to:
Delivering world-class treatment options for complex and high-risk cardiac patients
Ensuring that no patient is denied care due to financial or social constraints
Promoting preventive cardiology and awareness, helping communities adopt heart-healthy lifestyles
Training the next generation of cardiologists to uphold values of compassion, skill, and integrity
Ultimately, my goal is to provide not just medical treatment, but hope, healing, and a better quality of life for every patient who entrusts me with their care.
