Breakthrough For Heart Patients at Gleneagles JPMC
26 Sep 2024

On 22 August, Gleneagles JPMC made history by performing its first-ever procedure using the world’s smallest heart pump. 

The revolutionary Impella device supports patients with severe heart conditions, ensuring their hearts continue to beat during complex procedures. 

Led by our expert cardiologists Dr Billal Patel, Dr Rajinikanth Rajagopal, and Dr Muhd Ezam Emran, the successful procedure marks a significant advancement in cardiac care for Brunei.

Dr Patel, Head of Interventional Cardiology at Gleneagles JPMC, shared, “This patient had to undergo a complex cardiac procedure. In his case, the risks were high as the patient already had weak and damaged heart muscles. With the help of the Impella device, the patient’s heart function was supported throughout, and we were able to complete the cardiac procedure successfully. The Impella device gives the doctors confidence to perform complex cases such as this one.”

With the patient now on the road to recovery, this landmark procedure sets a promising precedent for the future of cardiovascular health in our region. We are excited about the potential this technology holds for improving patient outcomes and enhancing our cardiac care capabilities.
