Hyderabad: Doctors at Olive Hospital, Hyderabad, have successfully performed a rare and complex bypass surgery on a 75-year-old man suffering from multiple health complications, saving his life. The patient, who had been battling heart disease for over 16 years, was admitted with Redo-Cardio Artery Bypass Disease, Type-2 Diabetes, and chronic kidney disease.
Despite his extensive medical history, including six angiograms and prior surgery, the surgical team, led by renowned Cardiothoracic Surgeon Dr. C.H. Praveen, managed to restore the patient’s heart functionality and significantly improve his condition.
The patient, who had been experiencing chest pain since 2008, was admitted to Olive Hospital on November 18, 2024. Upon admission, he underwent a challenging repeat angiogram, which revealed the complexity of his condition.
Redo-cardiac surgeries are particularly difficult, as they involve working in the mediastinum, an area near the heart, and require the use of healthy blood vessels from other parts of the body to bypass blocked arteries. These surgeries carry a high risk of mortality but are sometimes the only option for patients with severe cardiac issues.
Despite the challenges, Dr. Praveen and his team successfully completed the bypass surgery, restoring the blood flow to three coronary arteries and ensuring no damage to the mediastinal structures. Post-surgery, the patient showed remarkable improvement. His heart is now functioning properly, and he required minimal inotropic support for 24 hours. Furthermore, no additional blood products were needed during the five-day recovery period, which is a testament to the success of the procedure.
Dr. Ch. Praveen, a specialist in advanced cardiac procedures, has vast experience in conducting complex surgeries such as Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), valve-sparing aortic root replacements, and bypass surgeries. His expertise, coupled with the commitment and skill of his medical team, played a crucial role in saving the life of the elderly patient.
