90 year old male who lived an independent life, suddenly developed severe breathlessness and episodes of fainting 5-6 episodes of unconsciousness in last 2-3 months.
He was admitted with heart failure and diagnosed to have severe aortic stenosis-blockage to the flow of blood across his aortic valve.
Considering his age and mild kidney dysfunction, he was offered a transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
This procedure was done under mild sedation, through an artery in his leg and this aortic valve was replaced without a single stitch. He walked in the ICU the next day and went home on the 5th day.
He returned for his one year follow up - driving his car himself from his home in thane and he remains in the best of health.
A man with burns on his right hand could not undergo a coronary angiography from the right hand. Dr. Nihar Mehta did his angiography via the distal left radial / snuff box approach, followed by his angioplasty and stenting via the same route. He comfortably walked out of the cath lab subsequently and was discharged 24 hours later.
A 38 year old male with chest discomfort had a strongly positive stress perfusion scan. His coronary angiography showed a blocked lad artery.
This subset is called a Chroic Total Occlusion or a CTO. A hard tipped wire was used to cross the blockage and a Special Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) was used to get an image the blockage and to assess the size of the artery.
Based on this IVUS image, a large stent was deployed and the artery was opened and blood flow was restored.
Patient was discharged in 48 hours and resumed his normal job within 7 days. 1 year later, his stress perfusion scan is absolutely normal.
72 year old male with bronchitis and diabetes had severe Breathlessness since 3 days which progressed to Breathlessness on talking short sentences. ECG showed a massive heart attack. 2D ECHO showed that his heart pumping was reduced to only 40%.
Angiography showing badly calcified and diseased left anterior descending artery (lad) with a 100% block.
The final result after placing one stent in the lad artery, restoration of flow back to normal and halting the progress of the heart attack
