Sri is recognized worldwide for his pioneering work in stenting with embolic protection for treatment of extra‑cranial carotid artery disease. He was part of the team that was involved in FDA regulatory approval and roll out of the first coronary stent (Gianturco-Roubin stent) in the United States in 1993. His original, seminal contributions for treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have been instrumental in providing PAD patients with additional treatment options.

He has published extensively and has served as faculty for many national and international meetings. A gifted teacher, he has mentored and trained several cardiologists and vascular specialists, many of whom are now directors and department heads in hospitals around the world. Sirogen, his patented sirolimus drug product for local peri-adventitial vascular drug delivery, is currently being tested in a multinational Phase 3 randomized Clinical Trial, evaluating its value for improving the outcomes of surgically created AV fistulae to support dialysis, a lifesaving procedure for patients with kidney failure.
