He is adept in performing complex interventional procedures such as: neonatal valvotomy, Stenting of the duct, Closure of the abnormal vessel (coronary AV fistula, Collaterals etc.) and Hybrid procedures like per-ventricular device closure etc.

He is a recipient of numerous awards which include: Highest Innovation ranking award by American College of Cardiology, “S T Achar Endowment Award” for best paper at IAP, Kolkata in 2004 and Dr YR Reddy Gold Medal for best paper presentation at IAP conference in 1993.

He has participated in various conferences, conducted workshops and delivered guest lecturers in them. He is described as the Chief/Senior Consultant – Paediatric Cardiology at Rainbow Children’s Heart Institute. His practice is noted for treating neonates, infants and children with congenital heart defects, performing diagnostic and interventional catheter-based procedures, and leading teams on complex heart surgeries in young patients. For example, one source states he “led a team of cardiac specialists who performed the first successful cardiac surgery on a fetus of 27 weeks gestation with severe aortic valve disease” (regarded as a highly advanced case) in Hyderabad.

In his clinic profile, he is credited with experience in “neonatal valvotomy, stenting of the duct, closure of abnormal vessels (coronary AV fistula, collaterals) and hybrid procedures like per-ventricular device closure” in children. He is also listed in various doctor-listing portals as being affiliated with other high-end cardiac facilities in Hyderabad (e.g., Care Hospitals, Lingampally) for consultations. 

 

Professional Achievements, Recognition & Innovation

 

One of Dr. Koneti’s most publicly celebrated achievements is the US patent granted for his KONAR-MF multi-functional cardiac occluder in 2025—a recognition that places him among the small number of physician-innovators in India who hold device patents. Media coverage highlights that the device was earlier patented in India, Europe and Korea, and the US patent validates its global potential. The device is reportedly cost-effective and used in multiple countries. His procedural portfolio includes high-risk neonatal valvotomies, ductal stenting, device closures and hybrid procedures—signatures of a clinician practising at the apex of paediatric cardiac intervention. One site lists more than 30 years of experience and emphasises “treatment of infants and neonates with complex lesions”.

His colleagues and institution recognise him as a “top paediatric cardiologist” in Hyderabad and South India for infants and children with congenital heart disease.
