Good Morning Everyone,
I wanted to update you on the developments in angiography.
After several researches, I relied on Doctor Nivit Kalra at Sukhumvit Hospital with great satisfaction. Bravo, friendly and utmost helpfulness in giving information even to my family members. https://www.sukumvithospital.com/doctorprofile.php?id=149&language=en
Here we go:
Admitted Friday the 13th at 9am, series of pre-op exams (I had already brought a chart from the previous hospital), entered the OR at 4pm.
During the procedure, they found 3 arteries with a defect.
One at 55% being treated with medication.
One at 70% where a Stent was inserted
One at 99%, extremely serious, where a Stent was inserted.
The 99% closing artery would have resulted in within six months, most likely a heart attack.
I could see everything on the screens; my wife and son were invited into the adjacent room, where Doc Nivit explained the situation and how to proceed. Amazing to see my arteries and clearly the point of total closure.
By 6pm I was back in the room (I.C.U. for prevention). At 10pm, the doctor came to update me on how things were going, the procedure's success, informing me that the next day (Saturday), after a series of control tests in the early morning, I could be discharged, so it was.
Two stents were inserted, one the maximum size, and went home the next day. I couldn't have hoped for better!
Got home yesterday, and it's stunning how my breathing has already improved, amazing.
The cost was substantial, all-inclusive with meds for a month, about 380 K.
Excellent service from my insurance company, who covered the expense with the utmost professionalism before I was released from the hospital. If needed, happy to give you contact information. The H.O. is in France, but they also have an office in Bangkok.
Guys, I wanted to thank you for your help; it all started from my first post.
Thank you very much!
