Narayana Health Kolkata's Thoracic-Vascular Team Improves Comprehensive Lung and Vascular Care

News Desk, News Nation 360 : Narayana Health Kolkata is home to Eastern India's only dedicated Thoracic-Vascular team, which provides integrated care for complex lung and vascular disorders that often require multispecialty coordination. The collaborative paradigm integrates Thoracic, Vascular, Pulmonology, Critical treatment, Respiratory Physiotherapy, and Rehabilitation services into a single structured clinical pathway, ensuring continuity of treatment from diagnosis to recovery. Narayana Health Kolkata has inaugurated the ALCATI Clinic across its facilities at Narayana RN Tagore Hospital, Mukundapur, and its Howrah and Barasat units, to strengthen comprehensive lung care. Free consultations would be provided to facilitate early detection and timely management of chronic and complex respiratory diseases. The Thoracic-Vascular team, comprising pulmonologists, physiotherapists, nurses, and rehabilitation experts, works together in providing the integrated lung-care pathway-evaluation, treatment, surgery, postoperative recovery, and long-term respiratory rehabilitation. This joint committee is of special importance in conditions where thoracic and vascular diseases may intertwine: lung cancer, airway stenosis, mediastinal tumours, thoracic trauma, aortic aneurysms, and other vascular complications in the chest. This allows patients to receive unified evaluation, surgical planning, and follow-up without having to separately go through various departments, hence streamlining the care with improvement. Prof (Dr.) Amitabha Chakrabarti, Clinical Lead & Senior Consultant, Thoracic & Vascular Surgery, Narayana Health, Kolkata, stated that many patients with thoracic and vascular issues may not fall neatly within a single expertise. When the disease affects both lung tissue and major veins, treatment must be planned concurrently. Their strength is that they examine, operate, monitor, and rehabilitate as a single unit. This leads to better outcomes and an easier experience for patients and families.
