Pioneering Cardiac Care at NHMC
National Hospital & Medical Centre, Lahore proudly announces the successful completion of our first-ever Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) procedure — led by Dr. Asim Saif Ahmad and Prof. Dr. Zubair Akram — a breakthrough for patients with heavily calcified coronary arteries. An 85-year-old female patient with complex calcified lesions in the left main, ostial LAD & circumflex arteries, who declined CABG surgery, was treated with advanced IVL followed by bifurcation nano-crush stenting. The patient is stable and under expert care in our CCU. NHMC continues to bring world-class, minimally invasive cardiac solutions to Lahore.
