Doctors at Capital Hospital, Vijayawada, successfully performed a high-risk surgery on a 40-year-old patient with advanced multi-valvular heart disease and severe liver dysfunction.
According to a press release from the hospital on Monday, Jada Madan from Tanguturu had undergone AVR in 2008 and balloon mitral valvotomy in 2020. He came to the Capital Hospital in a critical condition with stuck aortic valve, severe mitral stenosis, severe tricuspid regurgitation, and RV dysfunction. He also had advanced liver failure with bilirubin levels as high as 24 mg/dl, significantly increasing surgical risk.
Believing that surgery was the only chance to save him, the medical team, led by consultant cardiothoracic surgeon Hema Krishna Sai Kadiyala, went ahead with the decision. The procedure involved redo sternotomy, meticulous panus removal from the stuck aortic valve, mitral valve replacement (MVR), and tricuspid valve repair. Remarkably, the patient made a strong post-operative recovery and was successfully discharged, a press release said.
