Chandigarh, June 22

Advanced cardiac centre at the PGIMER here relayed the live operation of a complex case of coronary angioplasty at the annual conference of the National Interventional Council of India held in Ahmedabad. The conference was attended by around 1,500 interventional cardiologists from India and abroad.

This challenging case was performed by a team of experts from the Department of Cardiology, PGI, under Prof Rajesh Vijayvergiya. He said the patient was 78 years old, who had undergone a successful angioplasty for chest pain and discomfort. The peculiarity of the case was that he had high-grade and severe deposition of calcium in the coronary arteries, which required an advanced treatment in the form of rotablation and intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) along with intravascular imaging.

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).
