About Dr. K K Saxena
Dr. K K Saxena got his DM in Cardiology from Mangalore University. Then went to Royal Adelaide Hospital in Australia for an interventional cardiology fellowship. That Australian training is where the catheter-based precision work was sharpened. His forty years in this field mean this practice started when angioplasty itself was still a relatively new concept in India.
Dr. K K knows which blockage genuinely needs a stent and which one will do fine with medicines alone comes from decades of seeing outcomes, not from reading about them. Before Apollo was at the National Heart Institute and Batra Hospital. Over thirty-five years of teaching postgraduate students alongside clinical practice and published research in the Indian Heart Journal.

Patient Experience & Approach
Patients report that angiography results are clearly explained by Dr. K K Saxena, detailing the blockage location and determining if a stent or medication is needed. The physician’s forty years of experience ensure that stent decisions are based on decades of outcomes, not just guidelines. Families of older patients needing valve procedures were grateful for the less invasive balloon valvotomy option over open-heart surgery. Pacemaker recipients appreciated the simple explanation of their rhythm problem, the device’s function, and post-implantation life.
