Anil Baghi Hospital, the NABH-accredited super specialty hospital and No. 1 ranked hospital in Punjab by the National Health Authority and State Health Agencies Punjab, announced the successful completion of the first Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)-guided stenting procedure in the area. This innovative technique offers significant benefits for patients requiring stents to treat blocked arteries, and its successful implementation at Anil Baghi Hospital marks a significant advancement in cardiac care for the community.
The landmark procedure was performed by Dr. Prof. Amal Kanti Sen, a renowned Senior Interventional Cardiologist with extensive experience in advanced cardiac procedures.
