KAUVERY HOSPITAL CHENNAI PERFORMS INDIA’S FIRST SINGLE STAGE HYBRID CORONARY REVASCULARISATION PROCEDURE (BYPASS SURGERY AND STENTING)

 Kauvery Hospital, Chennai’s leading multi-specialty hospital, successfully performed the India’s first single stage hybrid coronary revascularisation procedure on a 44-year-old male from Nesapakkam.

Mr. Ramesh V, had visited Kauvery Hospital with a history of heart attack, blockage in multiple arteries and limited heart function of 30%, which required immediate surgical intervention. Traditionally, blood flow in patients with multiple coronary blockage is restored by coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) through sternotomy (Opening Breast Bone) which requires longer recuperation time at the hospital and increased risk of infection, especially during a pandemic.

Speaking about performing the India’s first Hybrid revascularization procedure, Dr. R Anantharaman, Senior Consultant Interventional Cardiologist said, “Undertaking a complex procedure and enabling the patient to walk back home within a span of two to three days is a huge step in treatment and provides a lot of hope for patients with such conditions. We at Kauvery Hospitals were able to perform this with the aid of the Hybrid Cath Lab thereby minimizing the risks, as only such a facility can facilitate the procedure to be performed in a single stage both surgery and stenting at the same time.

We made a small cut (3-4 cm) on the left side of chest through which the main bypass grafting for the left coronary artery was performed. After the successful completion of bypass surgery, its functioning was checked by angiography, which was followed by angioplasty and stenting to the right coronary artery. The same procedure was subsequently performed on two more patients – Mr. Sanjay, aged 54 years and Mrs. Narmadha M, aged 70 years. All the patients were discharged within a span of two to three days.”

Speaking on the success of the case, Dr. Aravindan Selvaraj, Executive Director, Kauvery Hospital, Chennai, said, “I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Dr. R Anantharaman and his team for setting a benchmark in India’s medical history by performing a minimally invasive hybrid revascularization procedure in a single stage. The Hybrid Cath Lab at Kauvery Hospital has ushered in many revolutionary procedures and helping in faster recovery for our patients. We always commit ourselves to bring in the latest technologies to provide the best possible treatment at all times. In this pandemic, it is imperative that all emergencies and regular treatment including cardiac should be immediately attended to as it can be life threatening if ignored or postponed

Hon’ble Finance Minister, Smt Nirmala Sitharaman launches Indian Bank’s ‘MSME Prerana’, a Business Mentoring Programme in vernacular for MSMEs

 

‘MSME Prerana’, an online Business Mentoring Programme for MSMEs, an initiative by Indian Bank was launched today by Hon’ble Union Minister of Finance & Corporate Affairs, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, at the Bank’s Corporate Centre in Chennai. Shri Debashish Panda, Secretary,Financial Services, MOF participated by VC in the launch.

 

MSME Prerana is a first of its kind initiative by a Bank in the country for the MSME sector. This is for empowering entrepreneurs through skill development and capacity building workshops in the local language. The program is in collaboration with M/s Poornatha & Co, a firm that designs Entrepreneurial Development Programs in vernacular using online web based interactive sessions and case studies.

 

Spread over 12 sessions, “MSME Prerana” program enables MSME entrepreneurs to acquire expertise in handling Finance and Managerial skills, capacity to handle crises in business, understand the dynamics credit rating and risk management. While the sessions on Managerial and Financial skills will be handled by M/s Poornatha & Co, the Banking related topics will be handled by faculty from Indian Bank. On successful completion, all participants would get a Certificate, issued jointly by Indian Bank, Poornatha & Co and MADE (Michigan Academy for Developing Entrepreneurs), USA.  

 

Launching the programme, Hon’ble Union Minister of Finance, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman said that Indian Bank has taken an out-of-the-box initiative in launching MSME Prerana which will handhold the entrepreneurs through a mentoring program. This novel initiative shall further inspire others in the banking sector to adopt similar measures. She appreciated the fact that the amalgamation process of Allahabad Bank into Indian Bank did not distract the Bank from the care for customers. The Finance Minister complimented the Bank’s leadership and management for this unique initiative.

 

Smt. Padmaja Chunduru, MD & CEO, Indian Bank said “During the outreach programs, webinars and interaction with our MSME units, one main takeaway was that there is still a lot of dependence on Chartered Accountants or Agents for these units to access bank loans and scale up their operations. The barrier was language, it was the jargon, the confusion about what the bank looks for when they approach for loans, how to manage cash flows, which schemes of government are available and suitable to them, how to register themselves for these etc. Many units were remaining in the micro or small sector, despite opportunities to scale up due to the apprehension about the tax burden.

 

MSME Prerana is our effort to bridge this gap in the skill sets - it is a Business Mentoring Program that gives inputs in simple terms (no jargon) and in the local vernacular. The objective is to equip the entrepreneurs with business skills as well as communication& HR. The first two programs will be in Tamil for the Coimbatore clusters of Indian bank , then it will be scaled up across the country in Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Gujarati etc. work is already underway for this.

 

Shri.Debashish Panda, Secretary, Financial Services, MOF emphasized on the various initiatives taken by government to support  MSMEs and lauded the efforts of Indian Bank in launching a unique initaive in MSME Prerana. He also exhorted the bank and other financial institutions to reach out to new-to-credit customers and associate with fintech players to accelerate the credit flow.

 

The e-launch was attended by the Board of Directors of Indian Bank, Industry Associations,Customers of the Bank. Executive Directors of Indian Bank,Shri. M K Bhattacharya, Shri. V V Shenoy and Shri. K Ramachandranalong with General Managers also participated.
