JAMMU, Jan 23: Amandeep Medicity gave a new lease of life to a young heart patient by performing Total Arterial Bypass Surgery on him.
Addressing media persons at Amritsar, Dr Amandeep Kaur, MD-cum-CEO, Amandeep Group of Hospitals, informed that a young patient of 49 years of age came to Amandeep Medicity with complaints of breathlessness on effort along with occasional chest pain. He was suffering from excruciating Chest Pain while breathing.
On examining the patient, Dr Yadvinder Singh, Head & Director, Cardiology Department, Amandeep Medicity, advised him Coronary Angiography. Angiography revealed that the patient was having critical TVD (Triple Vessel Disease).
“Dr Bhawna Singh, HoD, Cardiac & Thoracic Vascular Surgery Department, evaluated the patient and CABG (Bypass Surgery) was planned but considering young age (49 Yrs) of the patient, Total Arterial Revascularization was planned because longevity of an Arterial Graft is much more than a venous graft,” she added.
Arterial grafts are much more superior and longer lasting as compared to venous grafts. LIMA (Left Internal Mammary Artery) and Radial Artery have more than 95% Patency Rate for more than 25 Yrs. This was the reason of this tough exercise. The mission of this surgery was to gift this patient a disease-free life time survival.
Dr Bhawna Singh performed beating heart surgery with 5 Grafts using LIMA (Left Internal Mammary Artery) in a sequential manner. Left Radial Artery was also used to bypass OM1 Artery (Obtuse Marginal Artery) in a sequential manner. Bypass Surgery using Arterial Grafts for multiple targets in a sequential manner is technically challenging and time consuming. It requires a lot of skills, dedication and patient centric approach on the part of surgeon and team with no scope of slightest error.
Patient recovered very well and even his respiratory support was also removed just within two hours after surgery. The patient is absolutely stable now and is being discharged on 6th postoperative day.
Dr Amandeep Kaur said that this successful Total Arterial Bypass Surgery has added another feather to the cap of Amandeep Group of Hospitals. Dr Yadvinder Singh and Dr Shahbaz Singh told that Amandeep Medicity is well equipped with world class infrastructure and team of consultant doctors with experience and expertise to set many more such mile stones.
