Abstract:
Macrovascular complications are a common manifestation of long-standing or poorly managed diabetes mellitus, often leading to significant mortality and morbidity. This case involves a 59-year-old male patient with type 2 diabetes, bilateral carotid calcified atheromatous plaque, and 30-40% luminal narrowing on Doppler imaging. Despite optimal medical management, the patient experienced recurrent hospitalizations. Seeking alternative treatment, the patient underwent Ayurveda-based SHS (Sampurna Hriday Shuddhikaran) Panchakarma therapy. After four months, more than 50% regression in luminal narrowing and 100% resolution of calcification were observed. This case highlights a promising non-invasive alternative for patients with carotid atherosclerosis or other vascular plaques who are unfit or unwilling for surgical intervention.
