Nagpur Doctors Perform Rare Heart Procedure Without Open Surgery

Doctors in Nagpur used a special, minimally invasive method to fix a woman's heart valve without opening her chest.

This is like angioplasty, where they go through a vein in the leg.

This procedure, called Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Implantation, helped a woman who previously had open-heart surgery as a child.

The patient was able to walk and talk shortly after.

This new way of doing things is a big step forward, showing how medical science is getting better and better, even for adults with heart problems from childhood.
