The exact location and size of the defects was mapped using advanced Trans esophageal echo 3 D technology
Cumballa Hill Hospital in Mumbai recently conducted a heart surgery on 23-year-old Shahzad Ansari, with a complex heart defect. Dr Parthasarthy and Dr GN Rachmale conducted the operation using the latest 3D heart technology. Ansari had severe leakage in the upper heart valve called the aortic valve and a hole in the aorta which was opening into the right heart chamber.
Dr Saurab Goel, Head of Cardiology and Dr Kalpana Shah, Senior Heart anaesthetist performed a special procedure in the operation theatre prior to the surgery. After putting the patient under general anaesthesia, a special heart echo probe was placed in the food pipe behind the heart and the exact location and size of the defects was mapped using advanced Trans esophageal echo 3 D technology.
Talking about the complication, Dr Parthasarthy says that the challenge of the case was to reach the heart after removing the scars of the previous surgery and correcting the defects precisely. This was possible by the 3 D echo information and the hole was successfully sealed and the valve replaced by an artificial valve. After the successful repair before completing the closure of the chest in the OT, Dr Goel and Dr Shah confirmed complete correction of all defects by another 3 D echo performed through the food pipe.
After five-hour of intense surgery, the doctors confirmed that the patient made a complete recovery and is doing well after the procedure.
