74-Year-Old Woman’s Life Saved with Advanced Heart Procedure at SUM Ultimate Hospital

Bhubaneswar : A 74- year-old woman with several health problems was successfully treated for a serious heart condition at SUM Ultimate Hospital, Bhubaneswar. The treatment was led by Dr. Vibhutendra Mohanty, a senior heart specialist. The patient was facing trouble in daily life due to breathlessness and weakness. She also had high blood pressure, diabetes, and kidney problems. Years ago, she had undergone heart valve surgery, but the artificial valve had now worn out. Due to her age and other
medical issues, her was not fit for another open-heart surgery for replacement of
the older valve. So, the doctors decided to go for a less risky, non-surgical option
called TMVR (Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement). This advanced procedure was
done through a small opening in the groin and the new valve was implanted inside the
heart through a vein, without needing to cut open the chest. It was performed under light sedation in a modern cardiac catheterisation lab equipped with the latest technology. After the procedure, scans showed that the new heart valve was working perfectly. The patient recovered well and was discharged within a few days. “This treatment is a life-saver for elderly patients who cannot undergo traditional surgery, Thanks to new Indiamade heart valves, we can now offer world-class treatment at a lower cost.” said Dr. Mohanty. This case shows how advanced heart care in India
is helping even the most complex patients live better, longer lives – especially when
diagnosed early and treated on time.
