Parul Sevashram Hospital is dedicated to serving patients from all walks of life. One of the critical areas where the hospital and its staff excels is cardiology. The team of doctors consisting of some of the most skilled medical professionals in the country makes the best use of state-of-the-art facilities and the latest technologies to provide the best care and cure to patients suffering from different cardiac conditions.
Since patients can have unique needs, it is critical that a hospital can provide tailored options to facilitate them. This blog is dedicated to a case that illustrates the dedication and skills that the entire cardiology department of Parul Sevashram Hospital is exceptionally proud of.
Before getting into the details about the treatment and the assistance provided by the team, it is essential to give a brief about the background of the patient and the issue faced. In this case, Mr. Patel, a 65-year-old gentleman from Gujarat, had come to the OPD unit with a chronic history of chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Assessing the patient’s condition, the on-duty OPD physician promptly referred him to the cardiology department as the symptoms suggested he had coronary artery disease. Mr. Patel was fortunate that Parul Sevashram is often deemed the best heart hospital in Vadodara, meaning his treatment was started immediately.
The cardiologist took account of the patient’s recent medical history and was informed that he had been suffering from the issues for the past few months, and the conditions were not improving. Even though Mr. Patel did not smoke or consume alcohol, he maintained a highly sedentary lifestyle. With a history of heart disease, he was put in a high-risk patient category.
After the basic tests were carried out, it was found that Mr. Patel had severe blockages in two of his coronary arteries, a condition known as multi-vessel coronary artery disease. Due to this, the plaque had built up in the arteries. It restricted the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscles, and the symptoms of fatigue, shortness of breath, and occasional chest pain were often encountered. If the condition was not immediately treated, it could have resulted in an attack or cardiac failure.
This was quite challenging due to Mr. Patel’s age and the severity of his condition. The patient was suggested a few lifestyle-related changes, but these were not enough to treat the disease as hardened calcified plaques had already affected the arteries. Hence, he was recommended an advanced treatment approach that could open up the blocked arteries and ensure an excellent long-term prognosis. Therefore, with the prior approval of the patient’s family, it was decided to go ahead with Rotablation Guided Angioplasty, a cutting-edge procedure in which the hospital’s cardiology department specialises.
As suggested by the Cardiologist team, RGA (Rotablation Guided Angioplasty) was the best possible alternative here. It can be defined as a highly sophisticated heart procedure that aims to treat heavily calcified coronary arteries. It can be defined as a category of angioplasty carried out with a particular device called rotablator.
The mechanism of this device is simple. The rotablator has a diamond-coated tip that rotates at high speed, sanding the hardened and calcified plaque in the arteries. Once the process is done, plaque is reduced to microscopic particles and is safely absorbed into the bloodstream. Due to this process, it is possible to place a stent that ensures that the artery keeps open and healthy blood flow to the heart is possible. It is an effective way of treating critical patients like Mr. Patel.
As the best heart hospital in Vadodara, the hospital has all the necessary tools and professionals to carry out RGA procedures.
There were different reasons why RGA (Rotablation Guided Angioplasty) was the best possible course of treatment for Mr. Patel. The reasons are as follows:
The arteries were heavily calcified, and the traditional angioplasty would have been insufficient to treat the condition due to the hardened nature of the blockages.
Mr. Patel had blockages in more than one artery, so it was critical that a precise and thorough plaque removal technique in multiple locations be introduced.
It was critical to ensure that Mr. Patel maintained his heart function and prevent further damage.
RGA has a history of providing durable results, which meant that only the current issues were addressed and a long-term prognosis was achieved.
The team that treated Mr. Patel included Dr. Sharma (a seasoned interventional cardiologist at Parul Hospital). A team of doctors and medical professionals assisted him. The team included a cardiovascular surgeon, anesthesiologist, and specialized cardiac nurses. The role of technicians and paramedics is also quite critical in this case.
Once the procedure was completed, Mr. Patel w as closely monitored in the advanced cardiac care unit. The doctors noticed a significant reduction in chest pain and an overall improvement in the patient’s energy levels over the next few days. He was quick to regain his strength and was able to perform daily tasks independently. Within the next few weeks, his overall quality of life improved, and he was discharged without any symptoms and with a higher degree of energy.
This case study was one of the various examples of how the hospital has been able to make some prompt decisions and resolve chronic issues faced by patients. Mr. Patel’s successful treatment with advanced procedures depicts the quality of doctors and facilities at Parul Sevashram Hospital and underlines our commitment to patient care.
