NAGPUR: A 75-year-old woman from a well-known business family in the city had a massive heart attack last week. The wall between the right and left chambers of the woman’s heart (medically known as ‘septum’) was badly ruptured. This complication is called ventricular septal rupture, and the survival rate of elderly patients is less than 10%.
The woman not only survived, but also recovered quickly and is close to getting discharge from a city hospital, thanks to the latest technique of heart surgery used by the team of cardiac surgeons.
Cardiac surgeon Dr Nikunj Pawar, cardiologist Dr Aziz Khan and their team performed an unconventional heart surgery on this 75-year-old woman with the help of latest technology.
