Doctors at Arihant Hospital in Belagavi have performed heart surgeries on three patients from Iraq in the last few weeks. A team, led by veteran heart surgeon M.D. Dixit, have performed complicated surgeries like Redo surgery for Subaortic Membrane Excision. The patients included six-year-old Azal Ali Subhi.
Azal was suffering from severe subaortic stenosis, a congenital heart condition that causes a narrowing of the left ventricular outflow. This condition obstructs blood flow from the left ventricle to the body, leading to potential complications. It is a rare disorder seen in infants.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Dixit’s team. They conducted the subaortic membrane excision procedure to alleviate the obstruction and restore normal blood flow. The surgery involved the meticulous removal of the obstructing tissue and membrane situated below the aortic valve without damaging the valve.
