MUMBAI: Can a device control blood flow in such a way that one loses weight? The head of one of the country’s most prestigious medical schools, KEM Hospital in Parel, recently earned a patent for such a concept from the US Patent Office.
Dean Hemant Deshmukh, an interventional radiologist, thought of the device while fixing the narrowed blood vessels around the small intestine. Cardiologists fix narrowed vessels around the heart and interventional radiologists are trained to similarly fix vessels in other body parts such as the brain, lungs, legs and the abdomen, among others, to prevent strokes and gangrene.
