About Dr. Sathish Kandasamy

Dr. Sathish Kandasamy is a Consultant Interventional Radiologist with over seven years of focused experience in therapeutic neurointerventions and peripheral vascular procedures. He has developed strong expertise in diagnosing and treating complex neurovascular conditions such as acute stroke, cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVM), dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF), and carotid artery stenosis.

Before joining Zulekha Hospital, he worked at Royalcare Super Speciality Hospital and GKNM Hospital in India, and served as Senior Registrar in Radiology at both JIPMER, Puducherry, and SCTIMST, Trivandrum, two nationally prominent centres for neurological and cardiovascular sciences. These postings exposed him to a high caseload of complex neurointerventional cases under experienced guidance.

He completed his DM in Neuroradiology at SCTIMST and his MD Radiology at JIPMER, both highly competitive programs. As a neurointervention specialist in Dubai, Dr. Sathish brings technical precision to catheter-based procedures and a strong publication record covering stroke, aneurysm treatment, and spinal vascular malformations.
