Mumbai, 21st July 2025: In a miraculous turnaround that underscores the power of timely intervention and expert cardiac care, a 52-year-old Mumbai resident survived a massive heart attack despite being given just a 1% chance of survival . His life was saved through the efforts of Dr. Parin Sangoi, Interventional Cardiologist at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mumbai Central, and his dedicated cardiac team .
The patient was brought to the hospital in extremely critical condition he had suffered a major heart attack, had dangerously low blood pressure, and was placed on ventilator support. A detailed evaluation revealed two major blockages on the left side of his heart one was completely blocked (100%) , and the other was 90% blocked . His heart’s pumping efficiency (ejection fraction) had dropped to a critical 10-15% , and his weight, exceeding 100 kg, added further complexity to the case.
The medical team promptly initiated a complex angioplasty ( Primary PCI ) and inserted an IABP (Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump) to support the failing heart. “It was a high-risk case with all odds stacked against him,” said Dr. Parin Sangoi. “But with advanced intervention and constant monitoring in our ICU, we focused on giving him the fighting chance he deserved .”
What followed was a gradual, steady recovery. The IABP was successfully removed , blood pressure support medications were tapered off, and eventually, the patient’s heart function began to improve . After days of meticulous care in the ICU, he was finally discharged walking on his own a moment of triumph for both the medical team and his family.
This case is a powerful reminder of the critical importance of rapid, expert cardiac care in heart attack patients even in the most severe scenarios. Wockhardt Hospitals continues to stand at the forefront of interventional cardiology, offering hope and healing when it matters most.
