Rare Awake Heart Surgery Performed in Guntur
4 Apr
Summary
- 64-year-old patient with multiple health issues underwent surgery.
- The procedure was performed without general anesthesia or ventilator.
- This success sets a new benchmark for high-risk cardiac surgeries.
A remarkable medical feat was achieved at Aster Ramesh Hospitals in Guntur, where doctors successfully performed a rare awake coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure. The patient, a 64-year-old male with a complex medical history including diabetes, hypertension, and triple vessel disease, had previously undergone lung cancer surgery.
His pre-existing lung condition made general anesthesia a significant risk. Therefore, the surgical team opted for an awake procedure, successfully completing the bypass surgery without the need for a ventilator. This innovative approach significantly minimizes post-operative complications.
The Managing Director highlighted the success as a demonstration of advanced cardiac care capabilities, particularly for patients with compromised lung function. The achievement establishes a new standard for performing high-risk surgeries.
