Both the renal and coronary arteries were simultaneously treated, averting the possibility of kidney and heart failure.“This seems to be the first recorded case in the world, in which a chronic total occlusion of the kidney arteries was treated by laser angioplasty, as per the available medical literature. The patient was successfully treated using Excimer laser method for a 100 percent blockage in the left artery supplying blood to the kidney and 90 per cent occlusion in the main artery of a heart. A surviving kidney after 100 per cent arterial block has a very rare chance, as a kidney shrinks without the blood supply”, said Dr Shrivastava. He further added that the patient had a previously placed stent in a private hospital in 2023 which was apparently entirely closed causing severe heart complications, hypertension and breathing difficulties.
