Inventor of the Angioplastic Catheter

"I first went to Ataliyagoda Maha Vidyalaya. It was a school located in the countryside. I went to that school until I passed the third grade. I entered Galle Mahinda College for the third grade. I passed the high school there.
By bike. First, my father took me to school by keeping me in the luggage. Later I went to Mahinde riding my bicycle alone. I did not go to a university in Sri Lanka. When I passed my high school, I got a full scholarship at Jadavpur University in India. It is in Calcutta. I studied chemical engineering technology. I studied activated carbon in particular. I studied about the carbon and their quality.
In 1974, I went to America. It was to complete my Ph.D. I joined the University of Southern California there and studied chemical engineering and earned my Ph.D.
By 1979, I started researching the equipment. At that time, I was working for Edwards. My research started from there.
I had no particular interest in the heart. I automatically went there. When starting research, we study current conditions. At that time, coronary artery blockage had become quite a problem.
Yes. I was able to make a special device that could remove blockages in the veins. That device is a special device that can be sent through a blood vessel to the place where the heart is blocked. It is called an angioplasty balloon catheter.
This can be sent through a blood vessel in the thigh to the blocked artery in the heart. You can go to the blocked area and inflate it in the form of a balloon. It avoids the blockage. I invented not only this catheter but also the blood pump used to send it to the heart.
I own the patent for both.
Four years after production. That is, in 1984, we tested this on animals. Since the tests were successful, it was introduced to human use by 1988.
Before sending the catheter, the blocked blood vessel should be identified. I am the one who invented the Angiographic test and owns the patent for it.
The best way to develop a country is to train its people to rise up with science. We have to get used to it too. Proper use of internet is the best way to develop a country. If used properly, it can reduce traffic congestion after school hours. Children go home after school and study online. All that should be done is to merge tuition classes online. Then the children go home early and study at ease. Due to less traffic, environmental pollution is reduced. Exchange spent on oil is saved. In other words, a farmer in Anuradhapura can get treatment from a doctor in Houston through the internet.
It is possible to act as a global citizen across all borders through the Internet. It is the best way to develop the country. If not free, it should be given at a very affordable price.
I was born in Galle and started studying at a small school and finished studying at Mahinda College. Later, I lived in many countries including India and America and did various researches. I am confident that I have left enough for the world today. My work is still unfinished, in progress. I used to ride a bicycle to Mahinda in Galle, today I ride airplanes for fun in America. Millions of hearts that stopped beating are still beating because of what I discovered. So is it unfair for me to be complacent?"
