Pune, Navale Bridge: The medical team at Pulse Multispeciality Hospital recently achieved a significant clinical milestone by successfully diagnosing and treating a rare and life-threatening condition known as a Dieulafoy lesion of the stomach.
A Dieulafoy lesion is an uncommon vascular abnormality accounting for only 1–2% of all gastrointestinal (GI) bleeds. It involves a large, abnormally dilated artery that protrudes through a tiny mucosal defect, often leading to sudden, massive, and potentially fatal upper GI bleeding if not treated immediately.
The successful outcome was the result of a coordinated effort by a highly specialized medical team:
Gastroenterology: Dr. Vishal Seth led the intervention, utilizing advanced endoscopic techniques, specifically endoscopic clipping, which is recognized globally as the first-line treatment for this condition.
Internal Medicine: Dr. Manish Kolge (MD Medicine) provided critical diagnostic support and overall medical management of the patient.
Critical Care: Dr. Aniket Misar and Dr. Chetan Mahajan, both expert Intensivists, ensured the patient remained stable throughout the high-risk procedure and recovery phase.
Anaesthesia: Dr. Dipak Poman managed the specialized anaesthetic requirements for the emergency surgery.
