The Department of Cardiology at the PGIMER recently performed its first robot-assisted drug-coated balloon implantation procedure on a 59-year-old diabetic woman.

The procedure was performed by a team led by Professor and Head of the Department of Cardiology, Dr Yash Paul Sharma and comprising Dr Prashant Panda, Dr Dinkar Bhasin, Dr Pulkit Chabbra, Dr Ranjit and Dr Tanuja.

The innovative procedure offers numerous benefits to patients with coronary artery disease, including a lower risk of complications, faster recovery and a reduced need for repeat interventions.
