For the first time, transfemoral transseptal mitral valve replacement procedure has been performed instead of open heart surgery at PGI’s Advanced Cardiac Center. PGI has become the first institute in North India to do so.
This surgery was performed by the cardiac team led by interventional cardiologist and structural heart specialist Professor Parminder Singh Otal. With this transfemoral transseptal mitral valve replacement procedure, PGI has become the institute to perform this type of surgery at national and international level. Prof. Otal performed this procedure with the TMVR technique to replace the mitral valve instead of open heart surgery.
At the time of his attempt, cardiac surgeon Prof. Anand Mishra and other associates were also present. TMVR is also known as transcatheter mitral valve replacement. It is a way to replace the mitral valve in the heart without the need for traditional open heart surgery. In this way, there is no need to make a big cut while doing the surgery. Dr. Parminder Singh Otal has recently returned from England after completing his fellowship in transcatheter heart valve surgery at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, UK.
He was having difficulty in breathing for a month. Dr. Parminder Singh Otal said that a 78-year-old patient underwent bypass surgery with mitral valve in 2005. He had high blood pressure and kidney problems as well as low platelets count. The patient was admitted to PGI due to heart failure.
His valve was damaged due to leakage. A wire was inserted into the heart in place of the patient’s open heart surgery. The valve was attached to the wire so it was replaced. With this procedure, there is no need for much manipulation in changing the patient’s valve. The procedure is done in 30 to 40 minutes. Patient recovery is also quick.
