A young patient presenting with acute ischaemic stroke was managed with thrombolysis under Dr. Tandel's protocol within the treatment window at Asian Heart Institute, achieving near-complete neurological recovery without residual deficit.

A patient with progressive encephalopathy and myoclonus of uncertain aetiology received a precise diagnosis and targeted treatment plan under Dr. Tandel's care, stabilising an otherwise deteriorating neurological condition.
