According to Jain, the patient underwent an open-heart surgery in the past but had developed severe breathlessness and chest pain grossly limiting her daily activities. An obese person with high blood pressure, the patient had to be treated with utmost care.

“On examining the patient’s condition, it was reported that she was suffering from severe blockage of an aortic valve. Re-doing open-heart surgery was laced with high risk, hence the team decided on the alternative method of replacing the diseased valve through groin vessel without the need for a high risk open heart surgery,” he said.
