Clots Cleared: Woman's Life Saved by Advanced Heart Procedure
18 Aug
Summary
- A 67-year-old woman was treated for life-threatening blood clots.
- Doctors used mechanical thrombectomy to remove clots without surgery.
- The procedure restored blood flow to the patient's lungs and heart.
A 67-year-old woman faced a life-threatening condition due to multiple blood clots blocking blood flow to her lungs. She was admitted to Prashanth Hospitals experiencing severe breathlessness, critically low oxygen, and dangerously low blood pressure.
Interventional cardiologists, including Dr. Fazil Hussain and Dr. Deeyaneswar D., employed a cutting-edge mechanical thrombectomy. This catheter-based procedure allowed them to directly extract the clots, reopening the pulmonary arteries without the need for open-heart surgery.
The successful intervention significantly improved blood flow to the lungs and restored normal heart function, marking a critical recovery for the patient. The doctors emphasized the urgency and effectiveness of this non-surgical approach when clot-busting medications proved insufficient.
