Mumbai, (Maharashtra) [India]: It was a usual busy day at Dr. Vishal Khullar’s clinic when a 78-year-old patient presented at the clinic with chest pain symptoms. A diabetic, the patient had a history of heart attacks in the past. Dr. Vishal immediately decided to get a coronary angiogram done without wasting time. The angiogram revealed that the patient had critical left main and triple vessel coronary artery disease.
An echocardiogram was done and it showed that the heart function was poor, with an ejection fraction of only 20%. The patient’s condition was serious and immediate action was needed to save the patient’s life. Leading Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgeon in Mumbai, Dr. Vishal Khullar then decided that the patient needed beating heart bypass surgery to fix his heart problems.
Dr. Vishal Khullar, a Consultant Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery at Lilavati Hospital and Research Centre, Bandra, Mumbai states, “The patient’s health was precarious. His heart functioning was weak and immediate intervention was needed. Based on the patient’s history and the results of investigation, I decided that beating heart bypass surgery was required to treat the patient.The procedure has lower complications in high-risk patients with low ejection fraction.”
Beating heart bypass surgery is a complex procedure where the patient’s heart remains beating while the surgery is carried out. Special devices are used to stabilize the heart while the procedure is being carried out. The nature of the procedure calls for expert intervention. Thanks to Dr. Vishal Khullar’s expertise and experience in this field, the patient was in safe hands.
After the procedure was complete, the patient recovered well and quickly. The recovery happened so well that the patient was sent home after five days. An echo scan showed that the patient’s heart ejection fraction had increased from 20% to 45%. A follow-up visit after a few days showed that the patient was healthy and without symptoms. He was soon able to walk up to 3 km a day without facing any health issues.
“The right treatment at the right time is essential to treat heart problems, “says Dr. Vishal Khullar. “In this case, beating heart bypass surgery allowed the patient to receive four grafts to fix his heart problem. The procedure not only saved his life, but enabled his heart function to recover fully. He is now leading a normal life, free from problems.”
Ms. Vishaka Goyal, Co-founder of ClinicSpots, a healthcare and doctor discovery platform speaks highly of Dr Vishal Khullar, “We are fortunate to have an accomplished cardiac surgeon in Mumbai, India.
