Brief Profile :
Dr. Ranjan Shetty is Cardiologist practicing at Manipal Hospital. He obtained his MBBS degree from Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore and MD in Internal Medicine in 2005 from the prestigious All India institute of Medical science and DM in Cardiology from another prestigious institute, PGIMER Chandigarh. He has won several gold medals during his MBBS course. He was nominated the Best House Physician during his course in AIIMS and received the honour from the then president of India, Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam. He is a specialist in Coronary, Congenital, Structural & peripheral intervention. He has performed more than 3000 angioplasties very complex coronary & non coronary interventions. He is the pioneer in Asia for LAA appendage closures. He has the highest numbers in Asia Pacific region & is the only proctor in South East Asia. He is known Imaging guided PCI and has one of heights experience in IVUS guided PCI. He is one of the subject expert in IUCS PCI.
Dr. Ranjan Shetty is a senior Interventional Cardiologist from Bengaluru, India, recognised for his clinical expertise in complex coronary, structural heart, and peripheral vascular interventions. With a strong academic foundation from premier Indian medical institutions and more than two decades of professional experience, he has emerged as a leading figure in modern catheter-based cardiology in Karnataka and South India.
Dr. Shetty completed his MBBS from Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, in 2002 . He then pursued postgraduate training at some of India’s highest-ranked medical institutions. He completed his MD in Internal Medicine at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, in 2005 . This was followed by a DM in Cardiology from PGIMER Chandigarh, completed around 2007–2008 .
During his student and resident years, he demonstrated outstanding academic merit. One notable recognition was the “Best House Physician” award at AIIMS, presented to him by former President of India, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam . This early acknowledgement of clinical excellence is often referenced in his public profiles and remains a career milestone.
He has since been elected as a member or fellow of several major international cardiology societies, including the American College of Cardiology (ACC), European Society of Cardiology (ESC), and the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) — reflecting his standing among global peers.
Dr. Shetty’s primary domain is advanced interventional cardiology, particularly minimally invasive, catheter-based treatments that avoid the need for open-heart surgery. He is experienced in the following core procedural areas:
Complex Coronary Angioplasty & Stenting – includes multi-vessel, bifurcation, CTO (chronic total occlusion) cases, and imaging-guided PCI using IVUS and OCT .
Structural Heart Interventions – such as device closures for ASD, VSD, PDA, and Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC), where he is described as a pioneer in Asia .
Peripheral Vascular Interventions – carotid artery stenting, renal artery stenting, and aorto-iliac endovascular repairs .
Heart Failure & Rhythm Device Therapy – pacemakers, CRT-D, ICD implants (mentioned in multiple profile listings) .
Congenital Heart Defect Interventions in Adults – e.g., percutaneous closure of congenital shunts, valve balloon dilations.
His portfolio places him among the newer generation of Indian interventional cardiologists who bridge coronary and structural heart domains, instead of limiting practice to angioplasty alone.
Like most tertiary-care interventional cardiologists, Dr. Shetty is actively involved in academic CME, case workshops and interventional teaching labs. His roles have included:
Teaching and mentoring DM Cardiology residents and interventional fellows during his tenure at Manipal Hospitals.
Participation in national interventional cardiology forums under CSI/NIC (Cardiological Society of India & National Intervention Council).
Research involvement in imaging-guided PCI and LAAC device trials (not all publicly indexed).
