Expert in Percutaneous Coronary Interventions, Dr. Sanjay Bhat successfully treats elderly patient with critical blockages in two major coronary arteries at Bangalore’s Aster CMI Hospital
In a remarkable achievement, Dr. Sanjay Bhat, a well-known cardiologist with remarkable expertise in coronary interventions, has successfully performed percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on a 74-year-old male patient with life-threatening blockages in two major coronary arteries. This significant surgery was carried out under the expertise of Dr. Sanjay Bhat at Aster CMI Hospital, Bangalore.
The patient presented to the hospital’s emergency department with chest pain persisting for three days. A thorough evaluation, including an initial ECG, revealed significant abnormalities, prompting immediate coronary angiography. The angiogram showed severe double vessel disease, with critical blockages located at the bifurcation of the left anterior descending (LAD) and left circumflex (LCX) arteries, two of the heart’s most vital arteries.
Understanding the complexity of the blockages, Dr. Bhat and his team opted for a procedure known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using the culotte stenting technique, a method particularly suited for treating bifurcation lesions. Three drug-eluting stents (DES) were strategically placed in the LAD and LCX arteries to restore optimal blood flow.
Dr. Bhat remarked on the procedure’s success, stating, “This was a high-risk case due to the location and severity of the blockages. Besides, the patient was elderly. However, with the culotte stenting technique and the latest generation of drug-eluting stents, we were able to restore blood flow effectively and provide significant relief to the patient.”
Following the procedure, the patient showed remarkable clinical improvement and was discharged on guideline-directed medical therapy. This successful intervention highlights Dr. Bhat’s dedication to providing cutting-edge cardiovascular care to his patients.
Dr. Sanjay Bhat is an expert in percutaneous coronary interventions. He has undergone specialized training in complex coronary interventions, rotablation, IVUS, FFR, OCT and pacemaker implantation at Asan Medical Centre, Seoul (Korea), Cleveland Clinic (USA), and Mount Sinai Hospital, New York (USA). He is committed to utilizing the latest advancements in interventional cardiology to offer patients the best possible outcomes, even in complex cases.
