Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 22: In a significant development, Max Super Speciality Hospital (MSSH), Mohali has introduced a new technique for high risk bypass surgery with calcified aorta.
According spokesperson with Max Hospital Mohali, the patients with calcified aorta, who are at a high risk for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) can now undergo bypass surgery with very low risk involved thanks to the introduction of a new Enclose II-Proximal Anastmosis assisted Device.
He said that interestingly this new technique procedure has been performed successfully 1st time in northern region on DharampalJangra (55) by a team comprising of DrVirendarSarwal, Director & Head, CTVS, Dr Deepak Puri, Director CTVS, Dr Aratatran Nahak, Consultant , CTVS and Dr Ajay Kumar Sinha, Principal Consultant- Cardiac Anaesthesia at MSSH, Mohali.
DrVirendarSarwal informed that in traditional procedures or routine surgical techniques, if the aorta was calcified it has to be partially clamped by putting a device which partially constricted the wall of the aorta so that a bloodless area was created for the procedure to be performed. Dr Deepak Puri opinioned that this conventional technique would increase the risk of stroke as small pieces of calcium from aorta get dislodged and enter cerebral arteries supplying blood to the brain.
"Dharampal was discharged from the hospital on the 5th operative day and had no complications thereafter, he added. "This technique was being used for the first time in tricity by the cardiac surgery team at Max Hospital, asserted Dr Puri. |
