Manipal : Land mark treatment by Cardiology department,Kasturba Hospital Manipal
A patient of 94 years, male, had stroke twoyears back. He was on anti-platelet aggregators. He had one more stroke of thesame nature three months back.
The Patient was referred to Kasturba Hospital,Manipal. During the examination by Dr Ravi Raj Acharya, a block in the arterywhich supplies blood to the brain (carotid artery) was detected. A stroke can happen when a blood vessel in any part of thebrain is blocked. The blood through the narrowed carotid artery may slow somuch that a clot forms. The patient was referred to the Cardiologydepartment. The only solution was right carotid artery stenting. Consultantslead by Dr. Ranjan Shetty & Dr. Tom Devasia, with the help of Dr. Prasadfrom Anesthesia, successfully performed the “Right carotid artery stenting”without any complication. Patient recovered fast and is leading a normal lifenow. The stenting procedure helps to open the artery and would prevent furthernarrowing. The Cardiology unit of Dr Ranjan Shetty has performed considerablenumber of Carotid Angioplasty providing relief to the patients.
Even single attack of the same would have hadthe patient either dead or severely paralyzed for rest of his life, said DrRanjan Shetty, Consultant Cardiologist. Usually at this age of 94 years suchmajor procedures are not performed considering the age factor. But in thiscase, there were no other medical treatment available and hence angioplasty wascontemplated. The patient and relatives were very optimistic were ready for theinterventional treatment.
DrR R Pulgaonkar, Medical Superintendent said that “ all at Kasturba Hospitalwere full of praise for the patient and family and relatives for taking such amajor decision. With a devoted team of Cardiologist and staff, we are committedto delivering the best possible patient care” he added.
