He possesses extensive experience in the endovascular treatment of below-the-knee occlusive disease, particularly in diabetic feet.

Over the last 17 years, Dr. Kumar has performed more than 5,000 vascular and endovascular procedures, achieving several firsts in vascular surgery in the Middle East. These include the first successful atherectomy, the first use of a drug-eluting peripheral stent, and the first application of the Venaseal system in the region.

His research interests lie in the clinical aspects of vascular pathology, exemplified by his leadership in the first multicenter vascular study in the Middle East, the ABC in PVD study.
