Dr. Anand Gnanaraj

Triple vessel blockage

I was recently diagnosed with a triple vessel blockage ( 100% blockage in 2 arteries and 3rd one at 90%). The hospital where I got admitted had suggested that a by-pass surgery is the only option available - but also said it will be a very high risk considering my LV was less than 30%. We visited a few cardiologists/surgeons for opinions - the responses were quite different - 2 doctors suggested not to go for by-pass/CABG and go for an optional PCI, one suggested for by-pass or worst case a heart transplant. We were completely driven by the risk involved in either surgery and was really difficult for us to take a firm decision. After some research, we met Dr.Anand Gnanaraj at Apollo Vanagram. He was so patient to listen to us , spent quality time with us explaining the option of CTO - challenges in by-pass vs the PCI option. Despite the high risk, he did not intimidate us; he remained calm and composed and answered all our questions. He took on the challenging and complex Angioplasty and Succeeded. He is THE BEST DOCTOR for complex CTO angioplasty. Dr. Anand Gnanaraj, Dr.Premkumar, Dr.Sudha form an excellent team at Apollo Vanagaram, who gave me a new lease on life. My entire family is deeply grateful to all of you.
