Aakash Healthcare Super Specialty Hospital, New Delhi, in partnership with renowned interventional cardiologist Dr. Ashish Agarwal, has taken a significant step forward in cardiovascular care through a groundbreaking collaboration with Japan. The hospital recently hosted an advanced workshop focused on Chronic Total Occlusions (CTO) and other complex cardiovascular procedures, marking a pivotal moment in global medical education and patient care.
The workshop brought together leading international experts, including a prominent Japanese medical team led by Dr. Wataru Nagamatsu. Dr. Ashish Agarwal, alongside the Japanese team, demonstrated cutting-edge techniques to address some of the most challenging cardiac cases. This initiative emphasized the importance of global knowledge-sharing to enhance cardiovascular treatment outcomes worldwide.
“By hosting this workshop, we are equipping doctors with the latest techniques to tackle complex cardiovascular conditions,” said Dr. Aashish Chaudhry, Managing Director, Aakash Healthcare. “This collaboration with Japanese experts has set a new benchmark for managing complex cardiac cases and improving patient outcomes globally.”
The workshop featured two successful complex cases, showcasing the hospital’s advanced capabilities:
- Reopening a Chronically Occluded Artery: A patient with a 100% occluded old stent, who had undergone previous angioplasty, was treated using advanced hardware and expertise from Dr. Agarwal and the Japanese team. The artery was successfully reopened, restoring blood flow.
- Managing a Major Heart Attack: Another patient, suffering from a heart attack due to spontaneous dissection, was treated using intravascular imaging. With precise stent deployment, the team restored blood supply to the heart. Both patients were stabilized and discharged.
Dr. Nagamatsu highlighted the importance of such collaborations, stating, “The growing prevalence of heart diseases necessitates a skilled and well-trained medical community. This partnership with Dr. Agarwal and Aakash Healthcare ensures global advancements in cardiovascular care.”
As reported by medicalbuyer, the Indo-Japanese collaboration represents a milestone for the field, particularly benefiting cardiac patients in West Delhi and Dwarka, by making world-class expertise and state-of-the-art resources accessible locally. Aakash Healthcare continues to lead efforts in medical education, international collaboration, and cutting-edge patient care, ensuring the next generation of cardiologists is equipped to meet global challenges in cardiovascular health.
