Miracle MVR Surgery Saves Life at Gandhi Hospital
11 Nov
Summary
- A 51-year-old woman received a successful mitral valve replacement surgery.
- The complex procedure was performed by doctors at Gandhi Hospital.
- The patient is recovering well and declared fit for discharge.
Doctors at Gandhi Hospital in Secunderabad recently performed a successful mitral valve replacement (MVR) surgery on a 51-year-old female patient named Rajamma. She was admitted to the Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery department experiencing significant breathlessness, a condition indicating severe limitations in physical activity due to her cardiac health.
Following comprehensive investigations, the medical team conducted the MVR procedure, implanting a 27-mm mechanical valve. The patient was transferred to the ICU post-surgery and was on mechanical ventilation. Encouragingly, she was successfully weaned off ventilator support on the first post-operative day.
Anticoagulation therapy was initiated to prevent clot formation around the new valve. Subsequent evaluations confirmed the mechanical valve was functioning normally, with good left ventricular function. Rajamma has now been cleared for discharge, marking a successful recovery.
