Manipal Hospitals Successfully Performs Laser-Guided Renal Artery Angioplasty in Complex Case
Event summary
- Manipal Hospital Dhakuria performed laser-guided renal artery angioplasty on a 60-year-old male with uncontrolled hypertension and 100% thrombotic occlusion of the left renal artery.
- Conventional balloon angioplasty was unfeasible due to complete blockage, necessitating the use of laser technology to dissolve the clot and place a stent.
- The procedure restored normal blood flow to the left kidney, improved kidney function, and stabilized the patient's blood pressure.
- Dr. Soumya Kanti Dutta, Interventional Cardiologist, led the procedure, highlighting its significance in managing severe renal artery occlusion.
