Dhaka, Nov 15 (V7N) – Prime Minister's Assistant Personal Physician Dr ANM Monowarul Kadir on Sunday evening visited Health and Family Welfare Minister Sardar Md Sakhawat Husain, who is undergoing treatment at a city hospital following two stent placements in his heart.
Dr Kadir visited the health minister on the instructions of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, according to a press release.
National Institute of Neurosciences and Hospital Director Professor Dr Mohammad Nuruzzaman Khan was present during the visit.
Sakhawat Husain underwent medical procedures this afternoon when doctors successfully carried out two stent placements in his heart to restore normal blood flow.
The procedure was carried out at a private hospital in the city to restore normal blood flow through Husain's blocked coronary artery, a day after an angiogram detected three blocks in his heart.
The cardiologists addressed the minister's third heart block through dilation procedure or "balloon angioplasty" to widen the blood vessel at that spot. A team led by Professor Dr NAM Momenuzzaman successfully performed the procedures.
According to the press release, the minister preferred the procedures to be done inside the country despite having the option of receiving treatment abroad.
