That is a great achievement both for you and your student! Hearty Congratulations! Wonder whether switching over to titanium lead aprons can reduce your back pain during 'long haul' interventions in cath lab?
Happy to inform you all that the 2 cases which I did in the cath lab were accepted for presentation in “Best Coronary Exotica” in the TCT Meeting in San Diego California. Two very complex cases of coronary arteriovenous fistulas arising from sinus node branch of right coronary artery were device closed without surgery in cath lab. Unfortunately my multientry 10 year US visa is past expiry date and I am not keen for a long haul travel due to severe backache also. So I asked SR doing Bond after passing DM(in the vacancy of assistant professor) Dr HariKishore Udhayan from Thanjavur who assisted me throughout the case to apply for the US visa and go to US and present it on my behalf. At his age it will be a big thing for him to cherish for lifetime. As an HOD it is my pleasure to see that my juniors are uplifted to much more heights than me. Hope the esteemed US embassy will consider his application to just go there and present it and comeback.
