Southeast Asia's First Hybrid Heart Surgery Saves 29-Year-Old
A 29-year-old man from Bihar had a very serious heart problem where a big artery called the thoracic abdominal aorta was torn and very big.
This was very dangerous and could have killed him.
Many hospitals didn't want to operate because it was too risky.
But doctors in Gurugram did a special surgery that combined two different methods to fix the artery.
Even though there was a 50% chance he might not survive, the surgery was successful.
He is now stable and getting better, but he still needs more treatment for his heart.
A 29-year-old man from Bihar underwent a rare hybrid cardiac surgery in Delhi NCR to treat a ruptured thoracic abdominal aorta.
The surgery combined open bypass surgery with minimally invasive endovascular stent grafting to seal the ruptured aorta.
The patient's condition was initially misdiagnosed in Bihar, leading to further complications and worsening internal bleeding.
The surgery was performed at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram, despite an estimated 50% mortality risk.
The patient recovered well and was discharged within six days, currently stable and undergoing medical management.
