RMLIMS launches laser-based coronary angioplasty in city
An 82-year-old woman from Ambedkar Nagar with a 100% blocked right coronary artery was also treated using the laser technique after all other angioplasty methods proved ineffective. A 65-year-old woman from Mau, whose previously placed stent became blocked, underwent laser-assisted cleaning of the stent followed by re-angioplasty of the right coronary artery. Another male from Azamgarh, suffering from a long-term 100% blockage, was treated with laser angioplasty of the right coronary artery.
Prof Sudarshan Kumar Vijay, who led the team, said, "Laser angioplasty is a blessing for patients in whom traditional balloon angioplasty or even rotablation – a method using a rotating burr to grind calcium – does not work. It helps dissolve cholesterol and clots in arteries and restores blood flow." He added that in such difficult cases, rotablation is usually attempted first, but if that fails, laser angioplasty becomes the only option before bypass surgery.

"With this successful advancement, RMLIMS has made high-end cardiac care more accessible to patients with severely blocked arteries, said RMLIMS director Prof CM Singh.

Are you raising your child for success or suffering? Thyrocare founder Dr Velumani links your child's future to one parenting choice
Some people post food photos. Others share travel reels. But Dr A Velumani, the founder of Thyrocare , prefers something a little different—he regularly takes to social media to drop sharp, thought-provoking takes on parenting, success, and life choices. And his latest post on X is no exception. Once again, Velumani sounds a clear warning to parents: do not pamper your children. In his words, indulgence now can rob them of discipline and resilience later.

Neither Intelligent nor Disciplined lives a miserable painful life.' RECOMMENDED STORIES FOR YOU — velumania (@velumania) It's a harsh truth wrapped in blunt wisdom—classic Velumani style. His core message? A person's life can be shaped by two things: intelligence and discipline. He believes that if someone is both smart and disciplined, they're likely to become very successful. If they aren't very smart but are disciplined, they can still lead a calm and stable life. On the flip side, if someone is intelligent but lacks discipline, they may struggle with stress and challenges. And if a person has neither intelligence nor discipline, they're likely to face a tough and unhappy life. His message to parents is simple—don't spoil your kids, because discipline matters more than you think. Intelligence may be innate, but discipline is teachable. And the absence of both can be disastrous. The takeaway for parents is clear: love your kids, support them, but don't pamper them. Because in the long run, discipline is the one gift that keeps giving.
