Prof. D.S. Gambhir is one of the icons in the field of clinical as well as interventional cardiology in our country. He is a graduate and post-graduate (MD) from Maulana Azad Medical College, University of Delhi. After obtaining his doctorate degree (DM), he joined the Department of Cardiology, G.B. Pant Hospital, New Delhi and rose to the position of Professor at the young age of 44 years. Presently, he is working as the Group Director of Cardiology, Kailash Group of Hospitals, New Delhi & Noida.
Prof. Gambhir is one of the pioneers in the field of interventional cardiology, having performed more than 20,000 coronary interventions. He has not only treated countless number of patients by his masterly skills on complex and multivessel angioplasties, but also trained a large number of doctors in the field of interventional cardiology by performing Live Demonstrations in several teaching courses in India and abroad. He has many firsts to his credit in our country. He has successfully performed the largest number of stentings for left-main coronary artery stenosis - one of the most challenging in the field of nonsurgical treatment of coronary artery disease, thus obviating the need for bypass surgery in hundreds of patients.
Prof. Gambhir has not only treated thousands of patients by his clinical acumen and technical expertise on coronary angioplasty and stenting during span of four decades. He worked tirelessly, and fearlessly during two years of Covid pandemic without break and treated hundreds of patients who alongwith Covid infection, developed heart attack and needed immediate angioplasty and stenting.
By his innovative skills and research-oriented mind, Dr. Gambhir was the first Indian cardiologist to develop a drug-coated stent almost two decades ago. Presentation of clinical data on this new drug coated-stent, in one of the largest meetings of interventional cardiologists in Paris, not only won him great appreciation but also brought laurels to India, which earned the reputation of second country in the world to develop this device.
