1. ONE CAN REPLACE THE HEART VALVE WITHOUT OPEN HEART SURGERY .
2.STEM CELL THERAPY: Is now a reality in India.
Autologous bone marrow cells of the patient are now used (mesenchymal cells) to rebuild the damaged vessels and tissues.

New blood vessels are then formed and have a potential to improve the blood supply and save the limb from amputation. It has a potential to save many limbs.

Laser therapy is becoming competitive with sclerotherapy and surgery in the treatment of lower extremity varicose veins.
4. There is an increased risk of recurrent hypoglycemia in a diabetic individual with hypothyroidism as the synthesis and release of insulin is decreased.
