New Delhi, July 8 (IBNS): Saket City Hospital's (SCH) Institute of Neuroscience has added an advancement in the diagnosis and treatment of stroke, brain aneurysms, brain and spinal AVMs and tumors, and other complex neurovascular conditions with the acquisition of Neuro interventional biplane system from Phillips.

SCH is the first hospital to acquire this latest generation Philips AlluraClarity Biplane Neuro DSA system and one of the few centers in the country which have the Neuro-interventional biplane system.

According to  Divya Modi (Vice Chairperson, Smart Health City), "We are all very excited about the launch of Bi-Plane facility at SCH today as it would help us to to perform less invasive procedures that would facilitate the recovery of the patient. This new, efficient technology will transform healthcare taking it to a new dimension. We offer advanced technology to minimize invasiveness and improve patients’ rate of healing. The Bi-plane technology will help us continue to provide outstanding and non-comprising treatment to our patients."

She said, "It will transform healthcare professionals’ workflows, allowing them to care for patients more quickly. Bi-plane cath lab will also help doctors to ensure accuracy and to remain accountable."

Speaking at the launch event, Krishna Kumar- Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Philips India Ltd.  said,“In the past, it was difficult to combine great image quality and low radiation dose, and it often resulted in trade-offs. The Philips AlluraClarity incorporates powerful imaging technology to bring superb image quality at a fraction of the dose, further proving Philips’ commitment to improving patient’s health, well-being and quality of life.."

The current global trend is that Neuro endovascular procedure are replacing an open surgical procedure, particularly in brain hemorrhage, aneurysm management, AVM treatments and rescue of brain vessels blockage in acute stroke. Neuro intervention is a minimally invasive approach to repair brain vascular diseases resulting in a shorter hospital stay, quicker recovery time, reduced pain, and less risk of complications.

Shakir Hussain , Director, Interventional Neurology & Stroke Program | Chairman, Neurology  while speaking on the benefits of this technology said, "Due to private equity in healthcare today, we have state of the art equipment at par with best centers in the world at least in major metropolitan cities of India. However on the other side there are poor infrastructures and inadequate equipments in other India, "the India". So there is a mammoth task of doing things for the development of this specialty of Interventional Neurology an effective minimally invasive method of treatment of neurovascular diseases and stroke cases. Saket City hospital has taken that bold initiative."
