52-Year-Old Male with Acute Brain Hemorrhage successfully revived via minimally invasive procedure at Fortis Jalandhar

Jalandhar, 18 March 2026: In a remarkable life-saving intervention, doctors at Fortis Hospital Jalandhar successfully revived a 52-year-old man, who had suffered an acute brain haemorrhage using a minimally invasive endovascular procedure. The team of doctors led by Dr. Trimaan Singh Sikand, Consultant, Interventional Neurology, Fortis Hospital, Jalandhar promptly treated the patient, and he was discharged in a stable condition within 5 days.

The patient was rushed to the emergency department of the hospital after experiencing sudden, severe headache along with weakness on the left side of his body. An immediate CT scan confirmed the presence of an acute brain haemorrhage. Recognising the gravity of the condition, the hospital’s Interventional Neurology team acted without delay.

Further tests using angiography and 3D imaging showed a weak, balloon-like bulge in a blood vessel supplying the brain, located on the right side. To prevent further bleeding and stabilize the patient, the team performed an overnight minimally invasive endovascular stent-assisted coiling procedure, avoiding the need for open brain surgery. Thanks to the timely intervention and coordinated round-the-clock efforts of the medical team, the patient began showing signs of improvement the very next morning and made a complete recovery within five days.

Giving details of the case, Dr. Trimaan Singh Sikand, Consultant, Interventional Neurology, Fortis Hospital, Jalandhar said, ““This was an extremely complex blood clot located in a very small brain vessel. Performing stent-assisted coiling in such anatomy requires high precision and advanced expertise. Our priority was to seal the ruptured weak point at the earliest to prevent further bleeding and save the patient’s life without harming the parent vessel. The patient’s rapid recovery highlights the power of modern endovascular neuroscience when time, technology, and teamwork come together. Brain haemorrhage and stroke are true medical emergencies, and recognising early warning signs using the FAST principle — Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, and Time to seek emergency care — can be life-saving. Immediate medical attention significantly improves the chances of survival and recovery.”

Highlighting the collaborative effort, Dr. Anmol Singh Rai, Consultant, Neurology, Fortis Hospital, Jalandhar said, “A ruptured blood clot is one of the most devastating neurological emergencies and is often misinterpreted as severe migraine, stress-related headache, or sudden rise in blood pressure. This delay can be fatal. Early recognition of warning signs - such as sudden severe headache, confusion, or weakness, and immediate hospitalization can make the difference between life, disability, and death.”

Dr Ankush Mehta, Facility Director, Fortis Hospital Jalandhar said, “This case reflects Fortis Hospital Jalandhar’s strong commitment to advanced neurosciences and emergency care. The successful outcome was possible due to seamless coordination among neurologists, interventional specialists, neurosurgeons, and critical care teams, supported by state-of-the-art technology. Our focus remains on delivering timely, minimally invasive, and world-class treatment, especially during the most critical hours, so that patients can return to their families with dignity, independence, and quality of life.”
