Imphal, May 09 2016: Sky Hospital for the first time performed a com- plex coronary angioplasty and stenting (PCI) on Lucy Hungshi (54) of Poumai Colony on Saturday.

Addressing a press meet today at Sky Hospital, Dr L Shyamkishore, chief cardiologist of Sky Hospital said Lucy developed severe heart failure with severe left ventricular dysfunction and post MI angina following a massive heart attack on April 25. Without opening of the blocked artery which caused the heart attack and heart failure by Balloon Angioplasty with stent or coronary artery by-pass graft (CAGB) surgery, Lucy was left with little chance of survival.

The Balloon Angioplasty with stent was carefully per- formed and the procedure gave an excellent result with complete restoration of free blood flow to the failing heart.

The patient is making speedy recovery and was discharged today, he said.

Dr Shyamkishore said that patients with such complex heart problem can now expect survival at Sky Hos- pital where state-of-the art equipment are available.

Achan Kharei, son of Lucy also said that the equipment and sacrificial spirit of the doctors at Sky hospital are a matter of pride.
