GUNTUR — A team of cardiologists at a private healthcare facility in Narasaraopet successfully performed a rare heart surgery using artificial intelligence.
The procedure marks the first time that medical professionals in the state used an AI-driven Optical Coherence Tomography system to guide the precise placement of a cardiac implant.
The medical team led by Dr. Krishnakanth operated on a 65-year-old woman using a cutting-edge Bio-Resorbable Scaffold instead of a traditional metallic stent.
The advanced imaging system provides ultra-high-resolution views from inside the blood vessels. This data allows the AI to map the exact dimensions of the artery and ensure perfect placement of the implant.
