A 12-year-old girl from Patna, Bihar, who had infective endocarditis, a potentially fatal heart infection, was successfully rescued by Desun Hospital. Her heart valves had been severely damaged by the bacterial infection, which resulted in severe mitral regurgitation. She consequently suffered from severe breathing problems, palpitations, and an inability to carry out even the most basic daily tasks. After being brought to Desun Hospital, the child received critical heart surgery and was treated there for six to seven days.

Following the child’s admission, several thorough examinations showed significant damage to the valves, including vegetations, flail segments, and fenestrations. To ensure a higher quality of life following surgery, the cardio-thoracic team at Desun Hospital carefully considered the situation and decided to repair the valve rather than replace it.

After the procedure, the patient was closely watched in the intensive care unit while being closely watched by the cardiac anaesthesia team at the hospital. The child responded well to post-operative care and displayed incredible resilience during the recuperation period. A significant advancement in paediatric cardiac surgery is the ability to return normal cardiac function to such a young patient without the need for lifelong anticoagulant medication.

This instance demonstrates Desun Hospital’s commitment to providing cutting-edge, life-saving care with a patient-centered methodology. The team’s dedication to providing high-quality cardiac care is demonstrated by its ability to successfully repair complex valves in young patients.

The young patient has been recuperating nicely under ongoing monitoring since spending five days in the hospital following surgery. The successful operation demonstrates Desun Hospital’s sophisticated capacity to carry out intricate cardiac procedures, especially on young patients.

This accomplishment demonstrates the hospital’s dedication to providing top-notch medical care and making sure patients get the best care possible using the most recent developments in medicine.
