Patient Testimonial - Stenting of the Celiac and Superior Mesenteric Arteries

About Parvati's Treatment and Recovery

Parvati had been experiencing persistent and worsening abdominal pain that significantly affected her daily comfort and ability to eat normally. After multiple evaluations, she was diagnosed with Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia (CMI), a condition caused by reduced blood flow to the intestines.

Seeking specialized vascular care, Parvati approached Medicover Hospitals, Visakhapatnam, where she consulted Dr Sibasankar Dalai. After detailed investigations, the medical team identified narrowing in the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries and recommended a minimally invasive stenting procedure. This targeted intervention marked the beginning of her recovery and helped restore her overall health and quality of life.

What is Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia (CMI)?

Chronic mesenteric ischemia is a condition that occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the intestines become narrowed or blocked, usually due to plaque buildup in the blood vessels. Reduced blood flow, especially after meals, leads to abdominal pain because the intestines do not receive enough oxygen.
