Punjab: Medical fraternity recognizes Dr Harinder Singh Bedi's Endovascular achievement as world first
Dr Bedi stated that the Ivy Hospital was at the forefront in bringing International technology to the people of India and had a world class infrastructure for the same.;
Chandigarh: It is a matter of great pride for all of India that a procedure performed in Punjab has been recognized as a World First by the medical fraternity.
Dr Harinder Singh Bedi, Director of Cardio Vascular and Endovascular Sciences at the Ivy Hospital in Mohali told that the procedure was a minimally invasive one in a very high-risk patient.
Explaining further he said that the patient Mr Sukhbir Singh (name changed) was a 55-year-old who had a massive aneurysm (ie ballooning out) of his artery behind the knee – called the popliteal artery.
This had ruptured with loss of over 2-liter blood in the thigh. The patient experienced unbearable pain and came to Dr Bedi. On examination and investigation, it was realized that the patient was very anemic due to the loss of blood. Also, the aneurysm could burst again with risk to life and limb. Dr Bedi has seen very few such cases in Sydney where he has worked earlier. The standard treatment is open surgery which carries some risk as the patient had multiple co-morbidities and also had a phobia for surgery.
