Dr Robin Pinto has a vast experience of 30 years during which he has treated a large number of congenital and acquired heart disease patients. His special interest is Paediatric Cardiology (both echocardiographic evaluation and intervention). He is actively involved in transcatheter closure of congenital heart defects such as ASDs, PDAs and even a few VSDs. He also specialises in adult Coronary Angiography and Coronary Angioplasty by the transradial route. This is performed by just a few doctors and is advantageous to the patient as well as institution, as patient discharge is possible soon after the procedure is performed.
