Aurangabad Doctors Remove Brain Clot through the Hand Route Instead of Groin
Doctors at the Orion Citicare Hospital in Aurangabad removed a blockage in the artery through the hand instead of the usual route i.e., leg. A 48-year-old-woman was suffering from frequent paralysis attacks and came to the hospital. After medical tests, it was diagnosed that a block in her vertebral artery, which supplies blood to the brain, was the cause of these attacks.
Neurologist Dr. Pandurang Wattamwar said the blockage caused a disturbance in the supply of blood to the brain and angioplasty was the option to remove the blockage.
“In this case, it wasn’t possible to insert the tube through groin due to some medical condition. Therefore, we decided to go through the arm and this route also ensures less bleeding,” said Wattamwar.
