The state’s doctors have performed brain angioplasty successfully for the first time. This operation was performed at SMS hospital in Jaipur. The surgery went on for 4 hours and was complicated, as a stent had to be put in the cerebral artery. This success is also important, as Jaipur has come in the list of successful cities like Delhi, Chennai, and Bangalore where such surgeries are performed.

Five doctors performed the four-hour surgery successfully-

Before the operation, the patient Rajan T aged 55 used to get 3 to 4 paralytic attacks in a day. The cerebral artery of the brain is about 2.5 mm in diameter but Rajan’s artery was shrunk to about 90%. Since the blood could not reach the brain properly, he used to suffer from paralytic attacks. The doctors had put a microwire inside his cerebral artery to check the condition through Transfemoral catheter. The artery was widened by a balloon before this. When the stents ballooned up then stenting was performed by the microcatheter. This procedure took 4 hours to complete. The operation was performed on 21 January. Rajan is now recovering and will be discharged soon. The surgery team consisted of Dr. S.K Jain, Dr. Trilochan Srivastava, Dr. Ashok, Dr. Saurbah Purohit, and Dr. Mamta Sharma. 

Dangers – If the surgery was not performed then the patient could have lost his voice and a paralysis attack as the artery could have been blocked fully. 

Positives – The brain angioplasty cost around two lakhs at SMS hospital. The patients had to go to AIIMS Delhi or PGI Chandigarh earlier for the surgery. The government hospitals there also cost around the same but the cost of staying amounted to 50 to 60 thousand rupees. 

According to Dr. S.K Jain around 10 such cases are seen at SMS hospital alone each month. After the success of this surgery, the next surgeries of patients would become easier. Earlier more than 100 such patients had to go to other cities for such procedure each year.
