Desun Hospital Restores the Future of a 12-Year-Old via Life-Saving Heart Surgery

News Desk, News Nation 360 : Desun Hospital was able to save the life of a 12-year-old girl from Patna, Bihar, who had infective endocarditis, a devastating heart illness. She had substantial mitral regurgitation as a result of the severe bacterial illness that had severely damaged her heart valves. She consequently suffered from severe respiratory problems, palpitations, and an inability to carry out even the most basic daily tasks. Upon admission to Desun Hospital, the boy received crucial heart surgery after six to seven days of medical treatment. The teenage patient at Desun Hospital in Kolkata is convalescing nicely after five days of post-surgery treatment after a successful and intricate cardiac procedure led by Dr Soumya Guha, Senior Consultant, Cardiothoracic Surgeon, Desun Hospital, demonstrating the hospital's sophisticated capabilities in paediatric cardiac surgery and solidifying its commitment to delivering world-class medical care with the latest technology. Following the child's admittance, several thorough examinations showed significant damage to the valves, including vegetations, flail segments, and fenestrations. To provide a higher quality of life following surgery, the cardio-thoracic specialists at Desun Hospital thoroughly considered the situation and decided to repair the valve rather than replace it. Following the surgery, the patient was closely monitored in the intensive care unit under the supervision of the hospital's cardiac anaesthesia team. Dr Soumya Guha, Senior Consultant, Cardiothoracic Surgeon, Desun Hospital, added that the child reacted well to post-operative care and had incredible resilience during the recuperation period. A significant advancement in paediatric cardiac surgery is the ability to return normal heart function to such a young youngster without the need for lifetime anticoagulant medication.
