SIMS Hospital Saves 29-Year-Old’s Brain, Heart and Leg

SIMS Hospital successfully treated a recurrent stroke in a 29-year-old man caused by a blood clot in his brain, and also saved his heart and leg by promptly treating additional clots in these two organs, an extremely rare medical presentation. The patient had been diagnosed earlier with Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APLA), an autoimmune condition that increases the risk of abnormal clot formation.
The case was jointly managed by Neurology specialists Dr. Prabash Prabhakaran and Dr. Vivek Iyer, along with Interventional Neurologists Dr. Rithesh R. Nair and Dr. S. Selvin, supported by vascular and endo vascular surgeon Dr. Sairam Subramaniam. The patient has been discharged, is stable and will require lifelong medication with regular follow-up.
