KIMS Saveera Treats Woman After Severe Heart Attack
A 60-year-old woman had a very serious heart attack.
A large blood clot was blocking blood flow in her heart, and she also had widened coronary arteries.
Doctors at KIMS Saveera Hospital first tried a usual treatment, but it did not work.
Dr. Spandana Komma and her team then used special equipment to remove the clot.
They also placed two small supports called stents in her heart arteries.
This helped blood flow normally again.
The woman recovered and went home in stable condition.
Doctors at KIMS Saveera Hospital treated a 60-year-old woman with a severe heart attack.
