Kakryal hospital performs complex cardiac surgeries

Jammu: The Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Narayana Superspecialty Hospital, the tertiary care institution at Kakryal in Jammu, has performed one-of-a-kind lifesaving complex cardiac surgeries on two war veterans. Both patients were referred to the hospital for cardiac surgeries due to the high level of calcium deposits in the heart vessel walls, creating prolonged cardiac problems for them. One of the patients is 66 years old while the other is 71 years old. They underwent several tests at the hospital and were diagnosed with severe blocks in the heart which needed immediate surgical treatment. Two cardiologists Dr Nikhil Mahajan and Dr Hemant Maadan operated successfully upon the patients using the rotablation technique, which is the rarest form of surgeries for cardiac treatment. TNS
