A career built on complex, high-stakes intervention

Dr. Suresh Giragani, Senior Consultant Interventional Radiologist at Apollo Hospitals, has more than 18 years of clinical experience in vascular interventions, with a special interest in neurovascular and peripheral vascular interventional procedures. He completed his post-graduation as well as super-specialisation training in Neurointerventional and Interventional Radiology at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh.

With more than 3,000 cases of advanced intracranial neuro-interventions and 5,000+ cases of body vascular interventions completed.

He has successfully performed a wide range of complex vascular interventions, including flow diverter placement for intracranial aneurysms, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPSS), and aortic stent graft placement — supported throughout by advanced bi-plane angiography systems.
