CORONARY STENTING USING TANTELUM STENT

Made of Tantelum (Strecker Company) the stent was implanted in about July,1991 by Dr. P. Lal. It was implanted on 52 yrs old patient Mr. Ismail Maniku from Maldives (Father in Law of the then President of Maldives). Patient complained of unstable angina and underwent balloon angioplasty of RCA. Patient suffered from acute occlusion of the Right Coronary Artery. A stent was implanted successfully as a bailout device.
The procedure was done by Dr. Lal at Apollo Hospital, Chennai in June 1991. The patient is now 85 yrs. old and still comes to Dr. Lal for follow-up in Metro Heart Institute, Noida. (Certificate for Ist time in India is attached). Dr. Lal was trained in Germany along with Dr. H. Sievert to perform such kind of proce-dures. The following were the presentations given by DR. LAL about CORONARY STENTING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE COUNTRY :-

a) Role of stent in unstable angina at the annual meeting of Cardiological Society of India held in Hyderabad in 1991 where Dr. Lal demonstrated the use of coronary stent as a bailout situation in setting of acute occlusion of the artery the incidence of which used to be 1-3% following the balloon angioplasty.

b) Dr. Lal presented the scientific paper on coronary stenting for the first time in the country.

c) Dr. Lal delivered the first lecture of the country on coronary stenting at Annual Meeting of Cardiological Society of India in 1992.

d) Dr. Lal also presented the actual procedures of stenting and advantage of Tentalum stents over other metallic stents due to its ratio-opacity during Dr. V.V. Shah Oration Awards by Cardiological Society of India in 1992.
