| 14-year-old girl gets new lease of life after rare heart defect surgery at SMVD Narayana Superspeciality Hospital | | |  Early Times Report
KATRA, Sept 12: A 14-year-old girl suffering from increasing breathlessness was diagnosed with a rare congenital heart defect during a paediatric cardiac camp organised by Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Narayana Superspeciality Hospital at GMC Udhampur.
Doctors identified Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection (TAPVC), a condition in which the veins carrying oxygen-rich blood from the lungs do not connect normally to the heart. The patient had earlier consulted multiple doctors and was awaiting treatment at PGI Chandigarh.
Considering the complexity of her condition, the cardiac team at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Narayana Superspeciality Hospital planned corrective surgery without delay. The procedure was successfully performed under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY SEHAT by cardiac surgeons Dr. Vinod Bhan and Dr. Romil Dutt Sharma, with cardiac anaesthesia managed by Dr. Pankaj Gupta.
During surgery, the abnormal pulmonary venous connection was corrected and a normal pathway for blood returning from the lungs to the heart was created. The patient recovered satisfactorily.
Dr. Vinod Bhan said, "TAPVC is a complex congenital heart defect that requires accurate diagnosis, specialised surgical expertise and comprehensive post-operative care. Timely identification at our outreach camp helped us plan definitive treatment without further delay."
Dr. Romil Dutt Sharma said, "Successful treatment of such congenital heart defects depends on a clear understanding of the abnormal anatomy and precise surgical correction. Her recovery is encouraging and highlights the importance of timely access to specialised paediatric cardiac care."
Dr. Yashpal Sharma, Executive Director, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence, said, "The successful treatment of such complex conditions reflects the continued support of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board in bringing advanced cardiac care closer to the people. Our outreach programmes are helping to identify patients who may otherwise remain undiagnosed or need to travel long distances for treatment."
With 24×7 emergency and critical-care services, advanced cardiac operation theatres and specialised teams, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Narayana Superspeciality Hospital continues to strengthen advanced cardiac care across Jammu & Kashmir, while Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY SEHAT is helping make life-saving treatment more accessible. |
