Life-Saving Surgery for Aortic Aneurysm at Kailash Hospital

Mr. Bishan Singh Bisht (CHANGED NAME), a resident of Noida, came to Kailash Hospital with a complaint of hoarseness of voice. During the medical evaluation, an orange-sized aortic aneurysm was discovered in the main aorta, posing a life-threatening risk if it were to rupture. Further diagnostic tests, including a coronary angiogram, revealed that two major arteries supplying blood to his heart were also blocked, increasing his risk of a heart attack.

Surgical Plan

Dr. Satish Mathew and his team devised a complex, three-stage surgical plan to address both the aneurysm and the coronary blockages:

• Stage 1: A routine off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was performed to bypass the two blocked arteries.
• Stage 2: The surgical team constructed a new blood supply pathway using a graft to separate blood circulation to the brain from the affected part of the aorta, a procedure known as 'Aortic Debranching'.
• Stage 3: Finally, a stent graft was inserted via the right groin artery and placed in the main aorta to seal off the aneurysm. This procedure, known as Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR), successfully blocked the bulging area of the aneurysm, allowing normal blood flow to the lower part of the body.

Outcome

The surgery took 15 hours to complete. Postoperatively, Mr. Bisht was kept under observation for seven days. Following his recovery, the team of doctors conducted thorough examinations and discharged him in stable condition. Mr. Bisht and his family expressed deep gratitude to Dr. Satish Mathew and his team for saving his life.

Medical Team

The highly experienced surgical team included Dr. Saurabh Rai, Dr. Tauseef Akhtar, and cardiac anesthesiologists Dr. Reetesh Arora and Dr. Shireen Varghese. They were supported by perfusionist Sandeep Kadanga and a dedicated team of cardiac nurses and technicians.

Conclusion

This successful case underscores the advanced surgical expertise at Kailash Hospital, where more than 5000 heart and vascular surgeries have been performed . The hospital continues to set new benchmarks in cardiac care, ensuring that patients from Noida and the surrounding region receive world-class treatment.

This case study emphasizes the complexity of the procedure and highlights the skill of the medical team involved in this life-saving surgery.
