KIMS Saveera performs complex emergency angioplasty
Chief Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Moode Sandeep said KIMS Saveera’s cardiology team is equipped to manage complex cardiac emergencies with advanced technology and multidisciplinary expertise
A 90-year-old man from Agali in Madakasira taluk of Sri Sathya Sai district, suffering from a severe heart attack and chronic kidney disease, underwent successful emergency angioplasty at KIMS Saveera Hospitals in Anantapur. The patient's advanced age and impaired kidney function made the cardiac intervention challenging, as the use of contrast dye during the procedure posed additional risks to his compromised kidneys.
The cardiology team at KIMS Saveera performed the angioplasty and placed a stent in the blocked coronary artery to restore blood flow to the heart. Given his kidney disease, the doctors used the minimum amount of contrast dye possible during the procedure, employing a kidney-protective approach. The intervention was carried out with close monitoring and precautions based on input from the nephrology team, including Dr. Badarinath and Dr. Sameer John.
After the procedure, the patient's condition improved, and he was discharged from the hospital in stable condition. KIMS Saveera's chief interventional cardiologist, Dr. Moode Sandeep, highlighted the hospital's capability to manage complex cardiac emergencies with advanced technology and multidisciplinary expertise. He emphasized the importance of timely decision-making and careful planning when treating elderly patients with multiple health conditions.
