Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Medical College and Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Memorial Hospital has successfully performed a high-risk angioplasty using the cutting-edge Excimer Laser Coronary Angioplasty (ELCA) technique. The procedure was broadcast live to cardiologists across India, marking a milestone in collaborative medical learning and innovation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"686\" data-end=\"1150\">The case involved a 73-year-old patient whose earlier angioplasty attempt at a private hospital had failed due to heavy calcium deposits blocking the coronary artery and anatomical complications. The patient was later admitted to ACI, where a team led by Dr. Smit Srivastava, with support from Dr. Kunal Ostwal, Dr. S.K. Sharma, Dr. Pratik Gupta, and a dedicated medical team, carried out the complex procedure under the Chief Minister&#8217;s Special Assistance Scheme.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"3 May 2025\" width=\"715\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pRtrfe916kE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1152\" data-end=\"1645\">Using the ELCA technique, which employs laser energy to vaporize hardened calcium blockages, the team was able to clear the obstruction and successfully place two stents in the artery. The entire process, including advanced imaging through Coronary Intra Vascular Ultra Sonography (IVUS) and the use of a precision cutting balloon, was watched live by cardiologists nationwide as part of a virtual workshop organized during the Cardiological Society of India\u2019s national conference in Jabalpur.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1647\" data-end=\"1866\">\u201cThis wasn\u2019t just a successful surgery\u2014it was a national learning moment,\u201d said Dr. Srivastava. \u201cThe real-time interaction allowed specialists across the country to observe and clarify complex aspects of the procedure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1868\" data-end=\"2059\">The demonstration reinforced ACI\u2019s growing reputation as a center of excellence in interventional cardiology and showcased Chhattisgarh\u2019s emerging leadership in advanced healthcare solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Failed case from private hospital successfully treated using advanced ELCA technique; cardiologists across India witness live demonstration<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1371,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[116,118,117],"tags":[257],"class_list":["post-1369","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-chhattishgarh","category-state","tag-aci"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
