Leading multispecialty hospital Medanta held a press conference to highlight the most recent developments in vascular surgery and its critical role in preventing amputations and strokes among diabetic patients. This was part of the hospital’s ongoing endeavor to improve healthcare services and prioritize patient education. The event was chaired by Dr. Rajiv Parakh, Chairman, of Peripheral Vascular and Endovascular Sciences, at Medanta Gurugram. He highlighted cutting-edge therapeutic approaches and the value of early diagnosis in maximizing patient outcomes.

Diabetes is common in India, and many of its sufferers get infections in their feet that can result in amputations. With the right care, these amputations can be avoided. Like a heart attack or a brain attack, a leg attack is caused by restricted blood flow to the leg and can result in paralysis or strokes. By preventing brain and leg assaults, serious consequences can be avoided and lives can be saved. Many people suffer from peripheral vascular artery disease, especially in areas like West Bengal. It is influenced by variables including diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.

Dr. Rajiv Parakh introduced state-of-the-art tools that are revolutionizing vascular surgery at the press briefing. These include Prostate Artery Embolization, which treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by shrinking the prostate through restricted blood flow; Genicular Artery Embolization, a minimally invasive procedure that relieves chronic knee pain by reducing blood flow to inflamed areas; and the sophisticated AI-guided Penumbra System, which selectively removes blood clots from the lungs to prevent collapse. The treatment of vascular disorders has greatly improved as a result of these developments; in diabetic patients, early ballooning or stenting to unblock blocked arteries can avert leg amputation, prevent serious complications, and improve patient outcomes. Minimally invasive methods and early diagnosis are critical to enhancing patient care and raising quality of life.

Such activities, which are in line with Medanta’s vision, demonstrate the hospital’s commitment to providing high-quality healthcare and engaging the community. These initiatives align with its main goal of providing outstanding medical care with compassion and dedication so that everyone can have access to top-notch healthcare.
