The boy is 11 years old.
Bengaluru, 12 Sept
A new invasive surgical technique has made it possible for an 11-year-old boy
with a leaking heart valve to get a replacement only with a two-inch incision
in the armpit.
Doctors at Fortis Hospital here, who performed the rare,
minimally invasive surgery said traditionally valves can be replaced with
open-heart surgeries to cut open the chest bone, leaving permanent scars.
“In this child’s case, we used a small cut under the arm,
avoiding any bone cutting,” said Dr Sudarshan G T, Additional Director,
Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road.
According to him, the minimally invasive surgical
technique called transaxillary aortic valve offers advantages like reduced
postoperative pain and faster recovery compared to traditional open chest
surgery.
“This method not only reduces the risk of infection and
pain but also ensures faster healing and a much better cosmetic outcome,
especially important for young patients,” added the doctor.
