Arjun Bhatia, a 72-year-old retired engineer...
Arjun Bhatia, a 72-year-old retired engineer and avid gardener, noticed he was getting short of breath just walking to his beloved rose bushes. His calves ached with cramps after short distances, a condition called claudication. Tests ordered by his cardiologist, Dr. Kapoor, showed severe Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), a form of arteriosclerosis blocking the arteries in his legs. To save his leg and mobility, Dr. Kapoor recommended an Atherectomy to remove the plaque, followed by a balloon angioplasty. Arjun was anxious about the complexity but trusted his doctor. The procedure was successful, and the difference was dramatic. The cramping pain vanished. After a period of supervised walking therapy, he was back in his garden, pain-free. His emotional journey moved from frustration and fear of losing his independence to immense relief and joy. He felt he had reclaimed a fundamental part of his retirement and his identity.
