Dr. Amit Kumar Chaurasia Reviews

As a 28-year-old professional athlete with a congenital bicuspid aortic valve, I was terrified when told I needed intervention that could end my career. Dr. Chaurasia pioneered a custom TAVR approach that preserved my aortic root anatomy while replacing the valve. Six months post-procedure, I'm not only back to competitive cycling but recently set a personal best in time trials. His innovative thinking turned what should have been a career-ending condition into a minor setback.

My 92-year-old grandmother, a former classical dancer from Kolkata, developed severe aortic stenosis and was deemed inoperable by three hospitals. Dr. Chaurasia's team performed a transcather aortic valve replacement through her wrist artery instead of groin access, eliminating bleeding risks. She was reciting poetry in her hospital bed the same evening and returned to her weekly bridge club within two weeks - a miracle we attribute to his minimally invasive expertise.

During a routine school physical, our 16-year-old daughter's ECG showed bizarre patterns that other cardiologists dismissed as anxiety. Dr. Chaurasia identified it as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and implanted a subcutaneous defibrillator that doesn't touch her heart. The device recently detected and corrected a dangerous rhythm while she was swimming, saving her life without her even realizing it had happened.

As a 45-year-old ship captain with critical left main coronary disease, I needed complex angioplasty but couldn't afford extended recovery time. Dr. Chaurasia performed a single-session robotic-assisted multivessel PCI using intravascular imaging guidance. I was navigating cargo ships through the Suez Canal just 18 days later, with better cardiac function than I've had in a decade.

My husband, a 67-year-old retired architect, developed a rare ventricular septal defect after a heart attack. Multiple surgeons refused intervention due to the defect's proximity to his conduction system. Dr. Chaurasia closed the defect using a novel occluder device he helped design, preserving the electrical pathways. My husband is now building intricate scale models of historical buildings - his hands steady, his rhythm perfect.

When our 8-year-old son with Down syndrome developed complete heart block after congenital heart surgery, conventional pacemakers posed infection risks. Dr. Chaurasia implanted a leadless pacemaker directly into his heart through a vein, leaving no visible scars or external hardware. Our boy calls it his 'hidden superhero' and has returned to his beloved swimming lessons without restrictions.

As a 53-year-old professional tabla player, my career was threatened by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that caused debilitating arrhythmias during performances. Dr. Chaurasia performed alcohol septal ablation with such precision that my cardiac function improved while preserving the delicate coordination required for complex rhythmic patterns. I recently performed a 3-hour concert without a single missed beat - literally or musically.

My 81-year-old mother, a Holocaust survivor with extreme frailty and porcelain aorta, needed valve replacement but couldn't withstand conventional surgery. Dr. Chaurasia performed TAVR using cerebral protection to prevent strokes and minimalist approach avoiding general anesthesia. She was sharing stories from her childhood in pre-war Poland that same afternoon, her memories sharper than they'd been in years.

After surviving a massive pulmonary embolism at 34 during my second pregnancy, I developed chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Dr. Chaurasia pioneered a hybrid procedure combining balloon pulmonary angioplasty with targeted medical therapy. I've since completed a half-marathon pushing my daughter in her stroller - something I never imagined possible when I was struggling to walk across a room.

Our 19-year-old son, a computer science student, was diagnosed with anomalous coronary artery origin during a pre-college physical. While others recommended open surgery, Dr. Chaurasia performed coronary unroofing via mini-thoracotomy with robotic assistance. He returned to his AI programming projects within two weeks and recently won a national hackathon - his innovative spirit matched by his surgeon's.

As a 71-year-old retired army colonel with calcified coronary arteries that resisted conventional stenting, I faced coronary bypass surgery. Dr. Chaurasia used intravascular lithotripsy to fracture the calcium with sonic waves before deploying specialized stents. The procedure felt like science fiction - sound waves breaking up blockages - and I've since resumed my 10km daily marches without angina.

My wife, a 58-year-old ceramic artist with severe mitral regurgitation, needed valve repair but feared sternotomy would affect her ability to work at her pottery wheel. Dr. Chaurasia performed robotic mitral valve repair through tiny incisions between her ribs. She was back creating intricate porcelain sculptures within three weeks, her artistic touch completely unaffected by the procedure.

When our 14-year-old daughter developed heart failure from chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy, her oncologists had limited options. Dr. Chaurasia initiated a novel combination of cardiac contractility modulation and guideline-directed medical therapy. Her ejection fraction improved from 25% to 48%, allowing her to complete cancer treatment and recently attend her high school prom - a milestone we feared she'd never see.
