Radhakrishnan, born in 1945 in the quiet village of Cheppad in Alappuzha district, Kerala. After graduating in medicine and later completing my MS in General Surgery from Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram, I dedicated my life to the field of health and medical research. At present, I serve as the Hon. Visiting Professor in Nanoscience and Technology at Mahatma Gandhi University, Kerala, and as the Senior Consultant Vascular Surgeon and Medical Administrator at St. Thomas Hospital, Changanassery, Kottayam District. I also function as the Medical Director of the St. Thomas Institute of Research on Venous Diseases, Chairman of the Dr. N. Radhakrishnan International Centre for Medical Innovation (NRICMI) at MG University, and Chairman of the Ethical Committee of the National Homeopathic Research Institute, Kottayam, under the Ministry of AYUSH.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1650\">Throughout my professional journey spanning over five decades, I have devoted the last 25 years to understanding and treating Chronic Venous Diseases (CVD). I have treated over 45,000 patients with varicose veins using innovative, minimally invasive procedures such as Modified Microfoam Sclerotherapy (MMFST). My collaborations with the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology helped uncover the genetic and molecular basis of varicose veins, and I have worked with Mahatma Gandhi University to develop nanotechnology-based treatments for chronic wounds.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1652\" data-end=\"2269\">My first reference book, <em data-start=\"1677\" data-end=\"1708\">A Treatise on Venous Diseases<\/em>, was published in 2014 and received wide acclaim. In 2022, I authored a second major reference work titled <em data-start=\"1816\" data-end=\"1891\">Genesis, Pathophysiology and Management of Venous and Lymphatic Disorders<\/em>, published by Elsevier. This comprehensive book bridges the gap between basic science and clinical medicine, detailing the history, anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical management, genetic aspects, and pharmacology of venous and lymphatic diseases. It is used by students, clinicians, surgeons, researchers, radiologists, and even biomedical engineers across various disciplines.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2271\" data-end=\"2520\">During the COVID-19 pandemic, I felt compelled to raise public awareness, and so I authored a Malayalam book titled <em data-start=\"2387\" data-end=\"2433\">\u201cCovid-19, Corona Enna Vyali \u2013 Oravalokanam\u201d<\/em>, published in July 2021 by Dr. N. Radhakrishnan Foundation and Cornet Books, Kottayam.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2522\" data-end=\"2875\">Inspired by the leadership and vision of Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, I wrote a Malayalam book titled <em data-start=\"2638\" data-end=\"2680\">\u201cMODI, NAVABHARATHATHINTTE SOORYA TEJUS\u201d<\/em> (Modi: The Radiant Sun of Resurgent India), which was released on January 23, 2019, by the former Vice President of India, Shri M.

Doing Molecular Studies on Varicose Veins in collaboration with <strong><em>Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology (RGCB)<\/em><\/strong>, Trivandrum, Kerala, India since 2009 for prevention of disease in future generation.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Transition to a Phlebologist<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Varicose Vein\u00a0 was one disease which I liked least to treat. I used to refer all patients approaching me for treatment of varicose veins of legs to other centers. The reason\u00a0 was mainly\u00a0 due to the very poor results following surgical procedures. Patients will most often report with either recurrence or chronic ulceration. Patients will go on pestering and this would finally lead to professional disrepute. It was during this phase, that one patient who was referred to a major center for treatment returned to me as he was treated only by conservative means. He was refused surgery as his physical condition was such that he could not be given any anesthesia or surgical procedures.He had nonhealing large ulceration over the ankle region for the past many years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moved by his pathetic condition and\u00a0 his pleading for some help, I thought I should do something for him. It was at that time that I was doing endoscopic sclerotherapy for esophageal varices\u00a0 and hence I thought, <em>&#8220;why not I do the sclerotherapy on these veins as well&#8221;<\/em>. But I did not know how I should do, how much sclerosant I should give, where I should give, what will happen to the patient if I inject the sclerosant into the large dilated veins, whether it will be fatal! The repeated request of the patient prompted me to inject the sclerosant in to his leg veins . I repeated the same procedure two or three times giving an interval of two days. Fortunately, by His grace, there was no adverse outcome. Over a period of 45 days his ulceration healed completely and the patient was very happy, no doubt, I too. This happened in 1995.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The patient was a catholic priest, staying very close to our hospital in a priest home. He is now in late eighties and maintains a good leg and is the<em> living monument<\/em> of my first successful attempt. This was the turning point in my life which in later years transformed me to become a full time Phlebologist, leaving aside all my other favorite surgeries. He was offering his services in a Church very close to a Medical College Hospital. He made it a regular practice to visit the hospital everyday identified the patients with venous ulcers\u00a0 refer to me with a letter requesting me to offer the same treatment which he underwent. Later these patients after recovery from their ailment started bringing other patients. The cycle still continues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While I could do the procedure on eight (8) patients in 1997, the number increased progressively year after year. My interest in the subject of venous diseases\u00a0 made me learn more and more into the depths of the knowledge of venous diseases. Till 2002 I was using the plain solution of sclerosant and\u00a0 it required multiple sittings. Following the advent of\u00a0 Microfoam Sclerotherapy in 2001 (Tessari et al.), I started using the microfoam sclerosant from 2003. It was a real boon. Even then I did not know how it helped to heal the ulceration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2006, Caggiati et al published a paper on the presence of MVV (Microscopic Venous Valves) in the smallest veins and the importance of MVV in the pathogenesis of Chronic Venous Disease (CVD) . This prompted me to search further into the great depths of\u00a0 the etio-pathogenesis of CVD.\u00a0 Newer dimensions and outlook on the disease were brought out.\u00a0 Based on this an innovation in the technique got evolved, which in principle is the opposite of the contemporary techniques.\u00a0 My concept of this new technique of<em><strong> Modified Microfoam Sclerotherapy (MMFST) <\/strong><\/em>was approved by the patients which is in effect a<em><strong> &#8216;Chemical Bombing&#8217;.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2009, I was fortunate that my interest in venous disease was identified and appreciated by Padmavibhooshan Prof. M S Valiathan, National Research Professor, Govt of India and he introduced me to Rajiv Gandhi Center for Biotechnology (RGCB) and very soon we started working in collaboration on genomic as well as molecular studies and is in progress. It was a landmark\u00a0 in my life and I got involved fully in the research work on varicose veins. A research institute was developed exclusively for venous diseases, the<em><strong> St. Thomas Institute of Research on Venous Diseases, <\/strong><\/em>where in parallel with research more than 3500 MMFST is done annually. Patients come from all over India and other places to get the benefit of our procedure. Most of the patients are in late stages of the disease (CEAP Class-4 to 6) and after repeated surgical interventions elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In June 2012, one of my great dreams became a reality. That is the formation of\u00a0 <em><strong>&#8220;Dr N Radhakrishnan Foundation for Research on Venous Diseases&#8221;<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 for an ongoing advanced research project to prevent varicose veins in the future generation. The Foundation is committed to offer <strong><em>Post-doctoral Research\u00a0 Scholarships .<\/em> <\/strong>The selection of suitable candidate and other related matters are entrusted with the RGCB. I am happy that the Foundation started functioning early 2013. I am confident that in the coming years the Foundation can support more. This is my commitment to the future generation. 24<sup>th<\/sup> May 2023 the research centre <strong><em>\u201c<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>N.
