Dr. Rupesh Singhal talked to the media stating that "Deepikaben was diagnosed with a unique cardiac ailment at the age of 39. She gained her faith by first hearing from our team of interventional cardiologists at GCS Hospital about the risks associated with the procedure and after that carried out on her the first-ever cardiac therapy technique in which a clogged heart artery was opened while another channel was concurrently closed. We did the least invasive surgery (MIS) through her leg in one hour using local anaesthesia and a senior anaesthetist on call. In this particular instance, we have not collected any fees from her. IT was totally FREE under Ayushman Bharat Yojna.
A resident of Valsad named Deepikaben had been dealing with arthritis for two to three years when she began to have acute swelling all over her body, breathing problems, and a rapid and loud heartbeat. She went to a number of hospitals in Mumbai and Valsad, but her condition didn't get any better. Dr. Rupesh Singhal, a consultant interventional cardiologist at GCS Hospital, was referred to her. He chose to start by treating Dipikaben's edema. An additional channel emerging from the left major coronary artery that was directing oxygenated blood to the right atrium was discovered during an angiography, CT scan and MRI performed after the initial treatment to assess Dipikaben's cardiac condition. The two major cardiac arteries that branch off the left main coronary artery were likewise blocked. The heart couldn't receive enough blood due to this diversion and the obstruction in coronary arteries, which strain the pumping action. Further aggravating the situation was the fact that she was unable to have open-heart surgery due to a prior history of arthritis.
After giving it some thought, the interventional cardiologists Dr. Rupesh Singhal, Dr. Zeeshan Mansuri, and Dr. Jeet Brahmbhatt decided to execute a minimally invasive procedure using a fresh strategy. A tiny hole was created in the leg vessel, and a special Amplatzer vascular plug was placed through the femoral artery to seal the additional vessel. The patient underwent an angioplasty procedure in which a balloon and stent were inserted from the same puncture to open the highly damaged artery.
In this unusual surgery, the blocked heart artery was opened and the additional vessel from the left major coronary artery was closed at the same time through a little incision. Although the procedure seemed straightforward, there was a lot of risk. Due to diligent planning and cautious execution by the entire cardiology team and support workers, we were able to complete the procedure successfully. We will now perform another CT scan on the patient and provide ongoing care, according to Dr. Singhal.
Deepikaben expressed her gratitude to the medical staff and the facility, saying, "Doctor Sahib has saved my life. The doctors and personnel at GCS Hospital have travelled everywhere and spent a lot of money, but they have done so for free because to the Ayushman programme. My breathing is now completely normal, and my heartbeat is now normal. I'm quite grateful for my new life. After spending 11 days in the hospital, Deepikaben was eventually released. Now that she is living at home, she is healthy.
