In a remarkable display of medical excellence, Holy Family Hospital’s Cathlab recently performed a series of groundbreaking procedures that are changing the landscape of cardiac care in the region.
Key Highlights from the Day:
- Leadless Pacemaker Implantation:
A 78-year-old woman suffering from atrial fibrillation and a slow heart rate underwent a leadless pacemaker implantation using Medtronic’s Micra device. This tiny, capsule-sized device was implanted via catheter, offering a minimally invasive solution perfect for frail patients. The procedure ensures a quicker recovery, marking a significant step forward in patient care. - Renal Denervation for Hypertension:
A young woman battling resistant hypertension was treated with a renal denervation procedure. By using radiofrequency to calm the overactive nerves, this procedure effectively lowered her blood pressure without the need for surgery. This non-invasive technique represents a promising option for managing chronic hypertension. - First Implantation of Medtronic’s Cobalt XT AICD in North India:
In a major milestone, the first-ever implantation of the Medtronic Cobalt XT AICD was performed in North India. This advanced device was implanted in a young patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and ventricular tachycardia. Offering powerful 40J shocks and remote monitoring, this device ensures advanced protection against life-threatening arrhythmias. - Multiple Coronary Interventions:
The team also performed several successful angioplasties and stent placements, improving blood flow and preventing further complications in patients with coronary artery disease. - Educational Opportunity for DNB Students:
The day wasn’t just about patient care. Newly joined DNB students had the opportunity to witness these groundbreaking procedures firsthand, enhancing their practical knowledge and clinical experience.
Holy Family Hospital continues to be at the forefront of providing world-class, affordable cardiac care, transforming lives with each procedure. With a commitment to using cutting-edge technology and innovative treatments, they are setting new standards for healthcare in the region.
