Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], March 23: First time independently in Gujarat, the team of doctors at Narayana Multispeciality Hospital, Ahmedabad, successfully conducted the MitraClip procedure, an extremely challenging heart valve procedure. The team of doctors was led by Dr Manik Chopra, who is the Clinical lead for Structural heart disease interventions at Narayana Health and included Dr Satish Govind, Dr Sumit Dheer, Dr Vyom Mori, Dr Atul Maslekar, Dr Alpesh Patel and Dr Hetal Shah.
Mr. Mansukhbhai B Gondaliya, 58 years old male, had suffered a major heart attack in 2016 and had also undergone a coronary angioplasty with stenting for the same. However, his heart muscles had failed to recover, and he had poor heart pumping. He remained stable and asymptomatic for a few years on medications. However, his heart slowly enlarged over these years, leading to leakage in the mitral valve, i.e., mitral regurgitation (MR), which finally became severe enough to cause breathing difficulty on minimal exertion and heart failure symptoms for the last few months. He had taken multiple cardiac surgeons’ opinions but was found to be at very high risk for open heart surgery.
