Mr. Prafullachandra Kumavat a 50yrs, Old male, with H/o long standing Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension, I use to do regular walking around 2 rounds at the ground. One day I noticed I am breathless at one round and not able to complete second and same thing for consecutive for 2 to 3 days. So I went for a routine checkup at Nasik and I was advised Angiography and after Angiography I was advised urgent Bypass Surgery. Few of my friends and relatives advised to go for second opinion. Few said that I am very young for Bypass surgery and few advised me that Angioplasty is without any Stitches to body, so for that, So I Visited Pune at Dr. Rahul Patil’s Consultation and he also advised Bypass Surgery at Ruby Hall Clinic Pune, but considering my age, Diabetes Status and relatively less symptoms I insisted for Angioplasty. With the availability of new Medicated stents. Dr. Rahul Patil did Angioplasty with 5 stents in me with very good results. Now I Completed 09 Months of follow up. I went routine check up at Hridayam Heart Care Clinic. 2D Echocardiography shows good heart function and TMT/ Stress Test were negative at 10 minutes of exercise. I am very happy with the treatment from Dr. Rahul Patil.
Mr. Anilkumar Rathod a yrs. Old male, came to emergency department with complaints of chest pain. He was diagnosed by Dr. Rahul Patil to have Inferior Wall MI with heart block, within half and hour after informing high risk to the relatives he was taken for primary Angiography and Angioplasty by Dr. Rahul Patil. He had right sided 100% block and 2 left sided 90 % and 95 % critical blocks. Considering his high risk conditions and shock state, primary Angioplasty to Right Coronary Artery was done with medicated stent, he was stabilized and remaining Angioplasty to left side was done on 3rd day with 2 more medicated stents. Now I have completed 2yrs. of my Angioplasty, recent cardiac evaluation at Hridayam Heart Care Clinic which includes 2D Echocardiography and Exercise Tread Meal Test revealed good Heart function and good blood supply to heart with all 3 Stents functioning well.
Mr. Jawarilal Mutha 64yrs, Old gentleman from Nasik District, owner of Kirana shop with sedentary lifestyle, came to Hridayam Heart Care Clinic with complaints of effort breathlessness and chest pain. He was not able to walk more than 15 to 20 feet’s on level ground. On examination’s he was 130kg’s weight his Blood Pressure was high and Heart Rate was fast and irregular. He did routine check up at Nasik were he done Angiography from Right thigh / groin. Considering his over weight and critical blockages in his Main Vessel he was advised Angioplasty with a very high risk. Dr. Rahul Patil advised same Angioplasty through Radial Approach (from hand). A successful Angioplasty was done with Medicated long Stent through Radial Approach at Ruby Hall Clinic by Dr Rahul Patil, assisted by DR C N Makhale and Cardiac Anaesthetist. Patient came walking out of Cath Lab (Operation Theatre) and happily compared his Angiography Experience following which he was given 40 minutes of deep pressure in his groin to prevent bleeding from access site, 6 to 8 hours immobilization of right leg in supine position. Urine, motion, Water and food all in supine position for 6 to 8 hours, there was bluish discoloration and pain in the groin for 3 to 4 days, whereas Dr. Rahul Patil did Angioplasty in 30 minutes duration and I was asked come out walking from Cath Lab (Operation Theatre), there was small bandage put on my wrist, I was able to do all my necessary activities without any complaints, next day morning I was discharge home. It was like a dream that a procedure like Angioplasty can be done in such ease and comfort as an Outpatient treatment. Now it is one month of Angioplasty I am doing extremely well, my breathlessness and chest pain has reduced. I will suggest that not only over weight patient’s but all patient’s should undergo Angiography or Angioplasty by hand approach.
