UMC Hospitals Completes First IVUS-Guided Coronary Intervention
UMC Hospitals in Navi Mumbai did a new kind of heart surgery on July 30, 2024.
They used a special ultrasound inside the blood vessels to see the heart arteries better.
This helps doctors put tiny tubes called stents exactly right.
The doctors said it will make patients safer and help them recover faster.
The hospital wants to keep using new technology to help more people.
