About Dr. Rakesh Rai Sapra

Dr. Rakesh Rai Sapra is a distinguished Interventional Cardiologist with over 35 years of clinical experience. He currently serves as the Director and Senior Consultant of Cardiology at Marengo Asia Hospitals, Faridabad. Dr. Sapra has independently performed more than 15,000 vascular interventions, including coronary angioplasties, balloon valvotomies, peripheral angioplasties (renal and carotid), and congenital interventions like PDA and ASD closures.

His specialized training in electrophysiology and radiofrequency ablation was completed at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, New York, and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston.

Dr. Rakesh Rai Sapra's Expertise and Specializations

  • Coronary Angioplasty Expert: Dr. Rakesh Rai Sapra is highly experienced in conducting coronary angioplasty procedures. He uses evidence-based catheter-based techniques to place stents and widen arteries. This helps prevent heart attacks and relieve symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath.
  • Specialist in Balloon Valvotomies: An expert in balloon valvotomy, Dr. Rakesh Rai Sapra, a Heart Specialist, treats patients suffering from valvular stenosis, particularly mitral valve stenosis, using minimally invasive methods. The procedure involves inflating a balloon within the narrowed heart valve to improve blood flow and reduce cardiac strain. This technique is especially beneficial for patients who are not candidates for open-heart surgery, offering a safer and faster recovery option.
  • Master in Peripheral Angioplasty: He is also well-versed in peripheral vascular interventions, such as in the renal, femoral, and carotid arteries. These procedures are essential for treating peripheral artery disease (PAD) and reducing the risk of stroke or kidney failure. 
  • Pioneer in Congenital Interventions: Cardiologist Dr. Rakesh Rai Sapra, Faridabad, has successfully performed a wide range of congenital cardiac interventions, including Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) closure and Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) closure. These minimally invasive procedures help correct structural heart defects present from birth, improving oxygen delivery and preventing long-term complications.
  • Well-known for Electrophysiology & Radiofrequency Ablation: Dr. Rakesh Rai Sapra specializes in diagnosing and treating cardiac arrhythmias using radiofrequency ablation (RFA). He performs both conventional and complex ablations, including those guided by 3D electro-anatomical mapping systems like CARTO.
