Mr. Shyamalendu Ghosh a 66 years old from 24 Parganas (North), West Bengal, was admitted to Desun Hospital & Heart Institute, Kolkata around 2 am on 10/02/2011. He was in much pain and complaining of sudden chest pain with associated breathlessness and profuse sweating. On elicitation of medical history at the emergency department, it was further revealed that he is hypertensive and previously had suffered a cerebral stroke in January 2011.
Mr. Ghosh was quickly attended at the emergency department and later shifted to the ICU. His condition gradually stabilized of the critical care unit, but his ECG and ECHO Cardiography findings were suggestive of severe coronary artery disease. Following further necessary investigations, coronary angiography was planned, which revealed critical triple-vessel coronary arterial disease – so, major areas of his heart were barely receiving blood supply to cope with the demand. Given his condition, his heart functions could only be improved by coronary revascularization. The cardiac team decided in favour of surgical coronary revascularization by early CABG, since his was a case of severe coronary artery disease.
On 14th February,2011, the team of consultant cardiahorocic surgeons at DESUN, performed a CABG on Mr. Ghosh, post operatively, after initial stabilization of his condition at the operating room, he was shifted to CTVS-ITU on Intensive Ventilator & Therapeutic support. His condition was closely monitored and he was gradually weaned off all support at appropriate time.
After a few days of care at CTVS-ITU, the Cardiac Rehab Team at DESUN succeeded in sending him back home in a stable condition. Mr. Shyamalendu Ghosh is enjoying a newly leased life at his home with his family and friends.
