74 Years Old Woman from Yemen Successfully Treated with TAVR Aortic Stenosis in India
A 74-year old woman from Yemen had been facing issues such breathlessness and severe fatigue. After going through a check-up, it was found that that one of valves of her Heart had shrunken badly. This needed a change and the doctors of her country suggested an Aortic Valve Replacement that meant she would have to go through an open Heart procedure. Considering her age and the fact that she was a Diabetic, an open Heart seemed very complicated.
Her family started researching on the internet and found that TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) can be a better option for her. Despite her age, she could go through this procedure as the risk factor was very low. They also found that Dr. Ashok Seth in India is one of the pioneers of this procedure. Without wasting much time, they connected with him and arranged an appointment in Fortis Escorts Heart Institute(FEHI).
On coming here, she went through a thorough check-up, which specified that she was suffering from Aortic Stenosis with calcification. Dr. Seth explained to the family that in this condition, as people age, the valve suffers a lot of calcium deposit. Due to this, the valve is incapable to function properly, which leads to insufficient blood supply to the body. Also, there is back pressure in the Lungs, and this is why the patient feels shortness of breath. If left untreated, the condition can lead to fatal outcome. He further told them that TAVR is a minimally-invasive procedure, takes about two and a half hours and is done using a catheter that is passed via a tiny cut in the groin area. Then the old valve is dilated, and a new valve is implanted.
So, without further delay, a TAVR was conducted on her and just 3-4 days later, she was back on her feet. She not only withstood the surgery but also showed great signs of improvement. With proper follow-up and care, she was ready to fly back home very soon. “It was a surprise for her family but thanks to the expertise of Dr. Seth, who could make this successful. Dr. Ashok Seth is not only a pioneer in TAVR, has a great success rate, but he also designed this, and he was the one who performed the first TAVR.”
Thank you,
