  • (1888PressRelease) July 13, 2010 - Central India's first Non Surgical Ventricular septal defect Closure with device was performed on a 75 yrs. female Mrs. Saran Kaur Gandhi on 4th May 2010. She hails from Khandwa. She was admitted to Choithram Hospital on 27thmarch 2010 in a critical condition after a severe heart attack. Due to her critical condition emergency coronary angiography and angioplasty was done the very next day.

    During her recuperation she was found to have a ventricular septal defect - which is a hole in one of the wall of heart for which surgical closure is a solution, but her age and condition didn't allow for the same. However now a day's recently non surgical device closure is possible which avoids many surgical problems, and hence the doctors decided to do VSD closure with device with all explained risks to the patient and her relatives. So the procedure followed and performed successfully on 4thmay 2010 by Cardiologist Dr. Girish Kawthekar, Dr. Bhavesh, Dr. Nitin Modi and Dr. C.B. Chhabra.

    Talking about this critical but successful Procedure Dr. Girish Kawthekar said, "Initially it was a tough operation. Generally this problem has high mortality, but after procedure she recuperated fast. She has been discharged in stable condition and is fine now."

    The success of this operation proved Central India's competency in performing critical cardiological operations. Our city is now capable and at par with world standards in this field.

    Newer and technically demanding procedures are being regularly done and Dr. Kawthekar already has been pioneer to bring newer interventional procedures as angioplasty and valvuloplasty and other interventional procedures to the city.
