Doctors at Fortis Hospital, Mulund, today conducted state s 39th heart transplant surgery, on a 17 year old male recipient from Malegaon, Nasik. The patient has been on waitlist for over two months as he suffered from Dilated Cardiomyopathy. The transplant became possible when a 31 year old male patient was declared brain dead at Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune. The donor met with a road traffic accident that caused head injury and subsequent brain death. The transplant surgery was conducted by Dr Anvay Mulay, Head of Cardiac Transplant Team, Fortis Hospital, Mulund. Following brain death of the patient, the family decided to donate his Heart, Kidneys and Liver. The Police in Pune and Mumbai immediately swung into action & coordinated the Traffic from Pune city, Pune Gramin, Raigad, Navi Mumbai & Mumbai. A green corridor was created for swift transfer of harvested heart. The convoy moved out of Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune at 10.36PM and reached Fortis Hospital, Mulund at 12.14 AM.
