· India · The Hindu, LiveMint
A 90-year-old man from Sri Sathya Sai district’s Agali taluk, suffering from a severe heart attack and chronic kidney disease, underwent a high-risk emergency angioplasty at KIMS Saveera Hospitals in Anantapur. The procedure, complicated by the patient’s advanced age and kidney impairment, required careful use of contrast dye to avoid further kidney damage. Doctors from the cardiology and nephrology teams collaborated to restore blood flow via stent placement, ensuring minimal contrast exposure. The patient was discharged in stable condition after recovery. Chief Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Moode Sandeep highlighted the hospital’s capability to handle complex cardiac emergencies with advanced technology and multidisciplinary expertise.

This success story underscores the critical role of specialized cardiac care in treating high-risk elderly patients with co-morbidities, offering hope for similar cases across Andhra Pradesh. It also demonstrates how collaborative medical expertise can mitigate risks during life-saving interventions, potentially influencing healthcare protocols for geriatric patients with kidney disease.
