A 71-year-old man from Odisha underwent a rare heart procedure that involved recreating the patient’s aortic valve.
Doctors at PSRI Hospital in New Delhi conducted complicated valve replacement surgery after the patient was admitted because he had an abnormally dilated major artery, putting him at an imminent risk of rupture.
Upon examination, it was found that the patient suffered from chest pain and shortness of breath, indicating a severe cardiovascular condition. It was then found that the major artery responsible for supplying blood to the heart was enlarged to 5.7 cm compared to the usual diameter of 2.5 cm.
