Case Studies
Pre-term baby from Mauritius was treated for a life-threatening heart defect.
The infant was suspected to have Congenital rubella syndrome resulting in Patent Ductus Arteriosus, a heart defect leading to heart failure.
Calcific Plaque in Acute MI – Too Hard to Break
Combination of both Rotational Atherectomy and Intra Vascular Lithotripsy gave a new lease of life to a 70-year-old patient.
A 24-week-old fetus saved using Amnio Patch and Amnio Infusion technique.
The patient's amniotic membrane was damaged at around 24 weeks due to which the amniotic fluid leaked out. Platelet rich plasma and cryoprecipitate were injected to seal the hole in the membrane.
A 3D printing technique saved the knee joint and limb of an 8-year-old boy suffering from bone cancer.
The patient successfully underwent biological reconstruction. Doctors at APCC have used the 3D printing technique to save the knee joint and limb of an eight-year-old boy who was diagnosed with bone cancer.
Multiple blood transfusion inside womb saved life of an unborn baby.
Patient, Mrs. Rima, was diagnosed with a rare complication of foetal hydrops during her 24th week of pregnancy where fluids get accumulated in the foetus, making the baby anemic.
Interstitial Diode Laser Therapy procedure performed by doctors gave a new lease of life to an unborn baby.
The mother was having a monochorionic twin pregnancy in which there is a high chance of cross (selective) intrauterine growth restriction called Twin-to-Twin-transfusion syndrome (TTTS)
Endovascular Embolization saved the life of a neonate diagnosed with Vein of Galen Malformation (VOGM)
An emergency Endovascular Embolization was performed on a 48-hour-old baby for an extremely rare blood vessel abnormality in the brain known as Vein of Galen Malformation.
Mechanical Thrombectomy performed for Acute Ischemic Stroke saved the life of a 60-year-old patient.
Patient previously underwent Intravenous thrombolysis in another centre. Mechanical thrombectomy was done at Apollo Hospitals using stent retriever and multiple clots were removed from the occluded right MCA.
Complex surgery performed on a 51-year-old patient to treat pancreatic cancer with portal vein invasion.
After suffering for half a year and multiple failures of stenting, patient underwent the Whipple procedure along with replacing the damaged portal vein with an artificial graft (PTFE graft) to treat an advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Baby with a novel mutation in blood (NF-E2) is the first in the world to undergo a successful bone marrow transplant.
A 17-month-old Filipino baby was detected with a rare NF-E2 mutation in blood at birth. The baby underwent multiple cycles of blood transfusion in Dubai, before a bone marrow transplant was successfully performed by Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals.
Robotic-Assisted PCI with Intravascular Lithotripsy was performed using CorPath© GRX Vascular Robotic System on a 55-year-old patient.
CorPath© GRX Vascular Robotic System was used in the treatment of a long segment densely calcified LCX [circumflex branch of the left coronary artery]. It helped with precise placement of the Shockwave balloon and stent.
Renal Denervation (RDN) therapy, a novel breakthrough in the management of resistant hypertension.
Renal Denervation (RDN) therapy uses radiofrequency ablation to burn the nerves in the renal arteries. This causes reduction in the nerve activity which further reduces blood pressure.
