| Balloon Aortic Valvotomy done for first time in Jammu | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 13: One more pinnacle was scaled by Dr Neeraj Mahajan, Director Cath Lab and Head, division of Cardiology at Ankur Maitrika Hospital, Jammu. Dr C D Gupta, the renowned and the senior most cardiologist of Jammu recommended a 10 years old boy suffering from Severe Congenital Aortic Stenosis for BAV to Dr Neeraj who successfully accomplished it and saved the precious life andv kept the trust of his teacher and mentor, Dr C D Gupta, upon him.
Dr Mahajan explained “Congenital Aortic stenosis is a rare heart disease in which a baby is born with deformed and narrowing of one of the heart valves (Aortic Valve) due to which there is increasing pressure in the heart chambers and also lungs leading to lung congestion. Also the\ body tissues don't get proper blood supply leading to their poor growth. Clinically, these kind of children get breathless on slightest exertion or even at rest and if the valve tightness is very severe, they may succumb at very early age if they are not treated at proper time”.
“Historically, the treatment involves valve repair or replacement by open heart surgery which is highly complicated at so tender age. But of late, with advancing technology, this valve can be treated by Balloon Aortic Valvotomy. BAV involves passing a catheter mounted balloon across the stenosed valve and inflating at the right pressures to dilate it. The whole procedure is done under mild sedation and local anaesthesia via one of the groin vessels.”said Dr Mahajan.
Dr Neeraj thanked Dr Rohit Gupta, Head Anaesthesia & Critical Care for providing the much needed anaesthesia support and the entire cath lab staff at Ankur Maitrika Hospital. |
