Item Absent left circumflex coronary artery.(1998-05-01) Baruah, D K; Babu, P R; Prasad, SItem Combined percutaneous coronary and carotid artery stenting.(1997-07-01) Joseph, G; Baruah, D K; Zacharias, T U; Krishnaswami, SItem Concurrent coronary, bilateral iliac and left renal artery direct stenting.(2003-01-23) Baruah, D K; Panigrahi, N K; Srinivas, A NWe describe a patient who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention combined with bilateral iliac and left renal artery angioplasty during the same sitting. Stenting of the coronary and peripheral arteries was performed employing the "direct stenting" technique. No complications occurred. The patient was discharged 2 days after the intervention and remains asymptomatic, leading a fully active life during 1 year of follow-up. To our knowledge, unstaged coronary stenting combined with direct stenting of the renal and both common iliac arteries has not been reported previously in India.Item Pregnancy with type II aortoarteritis and descending aortic occlusion.(1997-07-01) Sambasivam, K A; Baruah, D K; Joseph, G; Krishnaswami, SItem Serum troponin T in unstable angina--a preliminary report.(1994-03-01) Jose, V J; Kumar, D S; Baruah, D KItem Serum troponin-T in acute myocardial infarction.(1996-01-01) Baruah, D K; Trivedi, S K; Selvakumar,; Jose, V JThis study was carried out to assess the utility of serum troponin-T estimation in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). One hundred and twenty two consecutive patients presenting with Q wave myocardial infarction were included in the study. In patients with AMI, serum troponin-T level was significantly elevated (4.21 +/- 3.49 ng/ml) on the first day of AMI (normal = 0.1 ng/ml). The elevated serum levels were detected even on the second (4.82 +/- 3.01 ng/ml) and the 3rd day (5.83 +/- 3.83 ng/ml) of AMI. Our results thus indicate that serum troponin-T is elevated twenty eight folds on the first day of AMI and the levels remain elevated as long as the third day. Hence, troponin-T can be used as sensitive biochemical marker of AMI, both in the immediate as well as in the early phase of myocardial infarction.
