Dr. Matthew Samuel Callical, the father of Angioplasty of India passes; Here is how the process saves the life of heart patients
Dr. Matthew Samuel Callical, leading cardiologist, was distinguished in India as ‘father of Angioplasty’, died at Apollo Hospital in Chennai. The 77 -year -old was considered a doctor to carry forward coronary angioplasty, carotid and coronary stenting in India. To know that the process he performed for the first time in 1986 helps to protect millions of people affected by various life-related heart issues.

Famous cardiologist Dr. Matthew Samuel Calrical – At the age of 77, he was revered as ‘father of Angioplasty’ in Chennai. Dr. Kalrikal played an important role in furthering coronary angioplasty, carotid and coronary stenting in India.
He was also the founding member of the National Angioplasty Registry of India.
Dr. Inspired by the groundbreaking work of Andreas Grantzig – Angioplasty -DR was credited as a leading. Callical came in contact with him through correspondence and was then trained below him in Zurich. Dr. Kalrikal later got an opportunity to do advanced research at the University of Emory at Atlanta, US.
On his return in 1986, Dr. Kalrikal performed the country’s first coronary angioplasty. He later pioneered the use of bio-povertyable stents, designed to dissolve in the body naturally after surgery, marking a large innovation in cardiac care. He was also included in patent for devices such as electronic algometers and jugular venous pressure scale.
What is angioplasty?
Being a minimal invasive process that opens the arteries to easily and independently open blood flow, the angioplasty usually treats life-drew issues such as atherosclerosis, which makes plaque and cholesterol-for aligeous heart attacks and strokes.
Angioplasty consists of a small balloon that pushes the plaque through the places that are very narrow or blocked. Generally considered as a safe process, angioplasty is now less aggressive than other heart and vascular procedures.
Why can you need angioplasty?
If you have then you may need angioplasty:
A heart attack
This process damages your heart during a heart attack or during being correct and there is also an emergency line of treatment.
Carotid artery disease
While carotid arteries are in your neck, if left untreated, these blocked arteries can cause stroke.
chronic kidney disease
When the plaque collects in the arteries in your kidneys, it can affect smooth blood flow and oxygen.
Heart artery
A blocked coronary artery can cause chest pain, causing a heart attack.
What happens during an angioplasty?
Doctors say that this is a very safe process, which is held in the following stages:
- You change into a medical gown and lie on your back for the process. After this you will be administered a sedative through IV. But you will still be awake enough to follow the instructions.
- In addition, local anesthesia will be injected to numb the area where access to the artery is sought. Usually, this is done through your waist or hand.
- The doctor will then slide a sheath above the needle and in a large artery and pass the wires and catheters through the tube near the artery.
- Once the targeted artery is accessible, injected into a special dye tube. The doctor will then see the X-ray to see the dye passing through your artery.
- The provider can find your artery obstruction or narrowness with imaging and a guide will cross the problem area with wire. This balloon-splitting allows the given catheter to pass over the wire.
- Once across the obstruction, the doctors will inflate the balloon.
- The provider will then look at more X-rays to see how much blood flow has improved.
- Typically, a permanent stent is applied which is stronger than a balloon.
