An aged patient suffering from double whammy of an unstable angina and obstructed inguinal hernia was treated successfully at Ivy Hospital, Nawanshahr recently.

If left untreated, unstable angina can lead to myocardial infarction and can lead to life threatening complications. Similarly, inguinal hernia is a common and not so high risk disease, but if it gets obstructed, it can lead to gangrene of intestines which can lead to catastrophic outcomes.
