Behind the Scalpels: Advancing Interventional Nephrology in Malaysia
A defining breakthrough in hypertension care and vascular access care restoring safe, reliable blood flow for patients who depend on dialysis through advanced, minimally invasive intervention.
Among the many milestones, one stands out:The world’s first nephrologist to perform renal denervation using the Simplicity Spiral Catheter a landmark achievement that showcases how innovation can open new possibilities for the treatment of resistant hypertension and uncontrolled hypertension.
Over the years, a series of first-in-country successes from complex fistuloplasty and long-segment thrombectomy to advanced stent deployment and challenging recanalisation cases has strengthened the path toward safer procedures,faster recovery, and better long-term access outcomes.
Behind every achievement is a committed multidisciplinary team working with cutting-edge imaging and the expertise of Dr. Gan Chye Chung, Interventional Nephrologist, whose training in complex endovascular techniques supports this continuous progress.
Each milestone tells a bigger story:pushing boundaries, evolving care, and making every procedure count for patients whose lives depend on access that works.
