Saved Lives of 3 Patients from Advanced Cardiac Ailments
With recent advancements in technology, treatment for valvular heart diseases has become much safer and minimally invasive. A 38-year-old was diagnosed with complications in his aortic valve, with heart function of only 20%. "The patient came to us with complaints of breathlessness for months. He was subsequently diagnosed with narrowing of one of the heart valves, the aortic valve. Replacing this heart valve is a very common procedure and is done surgically.
