Vadodara: A 21-year-old female patient from Madhya Pradesh (MP), who was diagnosed with an atrial septal defect, became Vadodara’s first patient to be operated on by a mini thoracotomy approach.
Atrial septal defect is a congenital heart condition in which blood defectively flows between the two upper chambers of the heart.
“We found the patient to be a perfectly eligible patient for minimal invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) and hence we did our first case and got absolutely promising results,” said Dr Parth solankia cardiothoracic and vascular surgery (CTVS) surgeon at Parul Sevashram Hospital.
“The surgery was completed with no complications and after the successful closure of the defect, she was discharged on the fourth post-operative day,” said Solanki.
“Few days after this surgery, another young patient suffering from mitral valve prolapse was also operated on using the minimally invasive approach and was discharged successfully,” he said.
Mitral valve separates the two chambers of the left side of the heart. In mitral valve prolapse, the valve flaps bulge (prolapse) into the upper left chamber (atrium) during each heartbeat.
“We have been keen to embrace the highest-level technological enhancements for all our patients. The benefit of all these surgeries is extended to all the beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojanaunder which the patients get such treatments completely free of cost,” said Dr. Geetika Madan Patelmedical director at Parul Sevashram Hospital, adding that MICS has proven to be the best possible alternative to open heart surgeries.
