Bathinda, February 11

Max Super Speciality Hospital, Bathinda, on Tuesday conducted a cardiology workshop on left main diseases and chronic total occlusions. In 10 cases, antegrade re-entry and rotablator technique was used. These stents were optimised with optical coherence tomography(OCT).

Recent studies have indicated that these techniques if used decrease the long term mortality and increase quality of life post-stenting.

This workshop was first of its kind in Punjab with the use of OCT as an imaging modality. Cardiologist from all over India and abroad were present to grace the workshop.

Dr Rohit Mody, director, interventional cardiology, Max Super Speciality, worked together with team members to make this workshop a grand success. Dr Mody said using these type of technologies in the region would become dream come true.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
