SIMS Hospital Doctors Save 29-Year-Old from Triple Organ Failure During Rare Recurrent Stroke
Chennai, 18 November 2025: SIMS Hospital successfully treated a recurrent stroke in a 29-year-old man, caused by a blood clot in his brain, and simultaneously saved his heart and right leg by addressing additional clots—an extremely rare multi-organ presentation in someone so young. The patient, diagnosed earlier with Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APLA), had suffered his first major stroke in 2022 at age 26. A brief interruption in his medication triggered this second, more severe episode. His quick response to early symptoms like slurred speech helped prevent permanent damage. The case was managed by Neurology specialists Dr. Prabash Prabhakaran and Dr. Vivek Iyer, Interventional Neurologists Dr. Rithesh R. Nair and Dr. S.
