The surgery was uneventful and the patient is doing well. While correcting Type-A dissection itself is a huge surgical challenge, the medical team at SIMS Hospital went ahead treating it as well as the other two anomalies, in a single-stage surgery that lasted for about eight hours, even when the patient was admitted in an emergency condition. In the patient, the aorta had a tear of the ascending part (acute Type-A dissection), leakage in the aortic valve, and a tear in the lower region of the descending part. Aorta is the main artery that carries blood away from the heart to other parts of the body.
The patient was airlifted from Oman in an emergency condition, after he developed intense chest pain all of a sudden. Chennai (Tamil Nadu), March 5 (ANI/NewsVoir): SIMS Hospital, a leading multi-speciality hospital in Chennai, has recently saved the life of a 35-year old Oman citizen by correcting three complex anomalies of his aorta in a single-stage, marathon surgery.
