In a compelling tale of medical perseverance and innovation, a frail elderly man with severe heart ailments has made a remarkable recovery thanks to a series of cutting-edge non-surgical heart procedures at SSB Hospital. Mr. Verma, a 75-year-old weighing just 35 kg, was admitted with advanced heart disease, including critical artery blocks, a narrow aortic valve, and heart failure. Despite being deemed unfit for traditional surgery, doctors at SSB Hospital opted for a daring approach.
A skilled team led by Dr. Siddhant Bansal, the hospital's director of cardiology, conducted three significant interventions: angioplasty and stenting for blocked arteries, a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) through a leg artery, and the implantation of a dual-chamber pacemaker. These procedures stabilized Mr. Verma's heart functions, addressing the critical issues of blood flow, valve function, and heart rhythm.
The successful treatment led to a significant improvement in his heart's pumping ability, propelling Mr. Verma from a bedridden state to complete independence, enabling him to resume routine activities without assistance. This extraordinary achievement highlights the impact of advanced medical technology and the unwavering spirit of an expert medical team.
