Madan Lal a 38-year-old Male admitted in CCU having history of smoking , painter by profession resident of Uttar Pradesh began experiencing regular chest pain and diagnosed to have inferior wall Myocardial infarction and underwent angiography which revealed lesion in Right Coronary Artery suggesting need for angioplasty .
Considering his young age and type of lesion in his artery, Dr Sushil Sharma and his team decided to implant the recently launched indigenous dissolving stent or BRS.
Dissolving stent or Bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) are similar in function to metallic stent but they are non-metallic, non-permanent mesh tubes, which dissolve over time (possibly in 2 to 3 years) after implantation. BRS is made of a polymer called poly-L-Lactide (PLLA), similar to the material used in dissolvable stitches/suture.
Dr Sushil Sharma HOD, Cardiology Super Speciality Hospital, Jammu commented that young Indian heart is at risk, there has been a rapid rise of cardiovascular disease in young patients, we are routinely diagnosing younger patients, even in their thirties or forties, with coronary artery disease, often caused by unhealthy or stressful lifestyles.
Dr Sushil said “Indigenously made Dissolving stent or BioResorbable scaffold –MeRes100 is a technology advancement which is bought by an Indian MNC.
Dissolving stent unlike metal stent doesn’t remain permanently in patients body, it dissolves completely once the healing is completed and thus leaving the artery back to its natural state .Also there will be no requirement for long term usage of blood thinners.”
