Biography

Dr. Viveka Kumar is a nationally and internationally acclaimed Interventional Cardiologist and Cardiac Electrophysiologist with over 30 years of extensive clinical and procedural experience. He currently serves as Principal Director and Chief of Cath Labs (Pan Max) at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, New Delhi.

He completed his MBBS and MD in Internal Medicine from GSVM Medical College, Kanpur, followed by his super-specialization (DM) in Cardiology from the premier King George's Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow. Dr. Kumar further pursued advanced international training and fellowships in interventional cardiology and electrophysiology at leading cardiac centers in the UK, Germany, and the USA.

Dr. Kumar has performed more than 20,000 successful interventional procedures, including complex coronary interventions, primary angioplasties, rotational atherectomy (Rotablation), chronic total occlusions (CTO), and Left Main bifurcation stenting. He is also one of India's leading authorities in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR / TAVI) and catheter-based structural heart repairs.

His clinical practice focuses on complex coronary artery disease management, structural heart disease interventions, leadless pacemaker implantations, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-D / CRT-P) for advanced heart failure, and catheter radiofrequency ablation for complex arrhythmias.

Dr. Viveka Kumar is the Principal Director and Chief of Cath Labs (Pan Max) at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, New Delhi. With more than 30 years of clinical and procedural experience, he is recognized among India's foremost interventional cardiologists and electrophysiologists, specializing in complex angioplasty, TAVR/TAVI, and advanced heart failure devices.

Rotablation (rotational atherectomy) uses a tiny diamond-tipped burr rotating at high speeds to safely pulverize rock-hard calcium deposits inside blocked coronary arteries into microscopic particles. Dr. Kumar uses this technique when coronary blocks are too calcified for conventional balloon expansion, allowing subsequent drug-eluting stent placement with optimal results.

He consults at Max Super Speciality Hospital, located at 1, 2, Press Enclave Marg, Saket Institutional Area, Saket, New Delhi, India.

International patients can upload their coronary angiogram files, echocardiography reports, holter monitor tracings, and medical history via LyfCure. Our international patient care team arranges an evaluation with Dr. Kumar, provides transparent procedural packages, issues hospital visa invitation letters, and organizes airport pickup and accommodation in New Delhi.
