From what to do to what not to do, medical conclave on tackling complexities
The initiative, inaugurated on Sunday, featured medical experts brought together by course directors Dr Ravindra Mehta, Dr VR Pattabhi Raman and their teams. The experts shared insights on navigating complications in pulmonary interventions.
Dr Mehta shared the idea behind the museum – to create a space where experts could learn from each other's mistakes. 'We talk about our achievements, but we never talk about the complications,' he said, adding, 'We wanted to make it complication-savvy and start a conversation.' The event witnessed attendees, including international faculty members Dr Pyng Lee and Dr David Fielding.
Through hands-on exhibits and video presentations, attendees had the opportunity to understand cases and explore strategies for effective management of future cases. 'A complication story is never an endpoint in itself; it is a beginning of a long journey which ultimately leads to a change in so many endpoints,'
Dr Mehta emphasised. The museum featured videos from across the world, available through QR codes. 'Each person who contributed has an experience of 20-30 years, and that's encapsulated in 1-2 minutes. It will also be available later on our website,' he added.
With an array of medical equipment that resulted in complexities during procedures and a detailed explanation of each case, the museum provided a learning experience, especially to those in the early stages of their careers. 'As told by one of my professors in the US, everybody tells you what to do, but only a very few tell you what not to do,' Dr Mehta stated.

New heart, new hope: Teen transplant survivor heads home on Organ Donation Day
Mumbai: When 13-year-old Khansa Sayyed left Mumbai for Jalna on Saturday afternoon, she carried a new heart and the hope of returning to school next year. The child underwent a heart transplant at Fortis Hospital in Mulund on July 18, after a family donated their brain-dead son's heart at a Pune hospital. She was discharged on Indian Organ Donation Day on Saturday after making an "exceptionally quick recovery," said transplant surgeon Dr Satish Javali. Union health and family welfare minister Jagat Prakash Nadda, speaking at a function to felicitate organ donor families and state officials, announced that India achieved a milestone by performing 18,900 transplants in 2024. He stated that India is only behind the US and China in the number of transplants conducted annually. Despite this progress, lakhs of organ-failure patients continue to face long waiting periods for an organ. Khansa, for instance, received a heart after seven months of registering for a cadaveric or deceased heart donation. "My daughter went happily to attend the Independence Day parade at school last year, but was so exhausted and weak that she could never return to school thereafter," said her father Rahim Sayeed, a vegetable seller from Badnapur near Jalna. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How to Ease Knee Pain Without Injections or Side Effects Read More Undo She was diagnosed with heart failure and registered for a heart transplant at Fortis Hospital in January.

Over 63,000 individuals currently need kidney transplants, and around 22,000 require liver transplants, she said. In Maharashtra, more than 9,000 are awaiting a kidney donation. Verma highlighted the govt's efforts to strengthen the transplantation ecosystem through NOTTO, which now has over 3.3 lakh registered donors. Meanwhile, in Mumbai, a volunteer who worked to create awareness about organ donation saved 10 lives when his family donated his organs. The volunteer, Kabir Mehta, 57, was declared brain dead after his brain aneurysm ruptured, and his family donated his heart, liver, kidneys, corneas, and skin at H N Reliance Hospital, Girguam, on July 29. Mehta and his wife, Dr Bijal, were part of the Shrimad Rajchandra Organ Donation Programme (SRODP) for over a decade and signed pledges years back. "Mr Mehta and his wife, Dr Bijal, were involved in spreading awareness about organ donation in Mumbai for over a decade," said an official of the Zonal Transplant Coordination Centre (ZTCC), which coordinates the sharing of organs between various hospitals. Deceased organ donations have improved in the city, with 59 donations recorded in 2024. So far this year, 32 donations have taken place.

In a bid to tackle the complexities in interventional pulmonology, bring transparency, and foster learning, the 4th Annual Conclave of Advanced Pulmonary Interventions (CAPI 2025), which took place recently, introduced a unique concept – the Complication Museum. The initiative, inaugurated on Sunday, featured medical experts brought together by course directors Dr Ravindra Mehta, Dr VR Pattabhi Raman and their teams.

First-ever global meet on interventional pulmonology
Bengaluru: In a landmark initiative that could redefine how medical complications are discussed, CAPI 2025 — the Complications and Safety in Interventional Pulmonology conference — concluded this weekend at Radisson Atria, Bengaluru, drawing doctors and medical experts from around the world for a conversation on the realities of procedural medicine. Hosted by Dr. Ravindra Mehta, founder of Vaayu Chest and Sleep Specialty Center, in collaboration with the Asia Pacific Interventional Pulmonary Alliance (APIPA), CAPI 2025 was a first-of-its-kind forum focused exclusively on the twin pillars of complications and safety in the field of interventional pulmonology. For the first time, complications were not treated as afterthoughts, but as essential learning tools for present and future medical practice. The conference received enthusiastic support from Rohini and Nandan Nilekani, whose belief in progressive healthcare education helped bring this bold idea to life.
