Mustafa had to create a new campaign for his family due to complications with his bank. He explains the situation in the updates of the old gfm, which has been now been closed.

Mustafa and his wife, Hanan, have two young boys: Yusuf (8) and Bashir (2).

Yusuf battles 2 heart conditions: a narrowed pulmonary valve and a deviation in the aortic artery. He's been unable to receive treatment he needs and has faced deteriorating health. When his parents were able to get him a doctor's appointment in July, they were told that Yusuf needs two emergency surgeries. The family needs help to afford the procedures.

With the scarcity of food and medicine, Yusuf's little brother, Bashir, has not had access to the nutrition his young body needs to grow and develop. He also recently contracted a skin rash that causes him pain and distress. The family hopes to afford treatment to provide Bashir some relief.

The funds raised will help Mustafa's family afford living costs in Gaza, treatment for their children, and evacuation. Please share and donate to help them reach their goal.

Successful Jatene procedure for great arteries transposition correction in newborn with SARSCoV-2 infection by Guillermo Careaga-Reyna MD in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences

Abstract

Pandemic of COVID-19 represents a challenge for treatment of patients with congenital herat disease. We present a newborn with great vessels transposition and positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR test. The patient was submitted to a successful surgical treatment with corrective Jatene procedure, requiring opened chest wall during 72 h of postoperative period and 43 days of total in-hospital lenght of stay.

KEY-WORDS: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, great vessel transposition, Jatene procedure, congenital heart disease.

Introduction

Coronaviruses are single stranded ribonucleic acid viruses with a diameter of 60–140 nm and a high rate of genetic mutations and recombinations, rendering them capable of escaping from the immune system and causing novel infections (1). In less than six months, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has swiftly spread from one city in China to over 190 countries worldwide (2-4). Neonatal infections with SARS-CoV-2 have been described although robust data on vertical transmission are lacking. In most instances where neonatal infection has been reported, close contact with infected mother or caregiver is postulated to have occurred (4).

In newborns, the case is regarded as positive for infection if any of the following conditions occurs, (1): positive PCR for SARS-CoV-2 in respiratory tract or blood samples, high homology of viral gene sequences of the samples from the respiratory tract or blood to the COVID-19 sequence.

We present a case of a newborn with great vessel transposition and SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Case Report

We present a new born with great arteries transposition associated to aquired SARS-COV-2 infection.

The patient was refrerred to our hospital, with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test, with mechanical ventilatory support in order to confirm a complex congenital heart disease.

The diagnosis was established via echocardiographic evaluation which showed normal venous return, concordance atrio-ventricular and ventriculo-arterial discordance. It was concluded: great arteries transposition, patent ductus arteriosus and permeability of foramen oval.

The patient was recovered from a septic shock with no evidence of systemic inflammatory response requires inotropic support and after stabilization in neonatal intensive care unit, at 10 day in-hospital stay,  was submitted to an open heart surgery consisted in anatomic correction with Jatene procedure. The aortic cross-clamping time was 119 min, with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) of 181 min. It was decided to maintain in postoperative period opened chest wall, and after 72 the chest wall closure was succesfully realized with favorable posoperative evolution. After 32 days of postoperative, the patient was discharged from hospital. Actually, two years after surgery, the patient is doing well, only with mild pulmonary stenosis without hemodinamic or clinical repercusion.

Discussion

For infants born to COVID positive mothers should be reasonable to separate him from the mother if will need cardiac surgery to try avoid post-natal infection.

In fact, there is minimal evidence of placental vertical transmisión. In this case, the patient has a positive test for SARS-CoV-2 infection and evolved with septic shock in the preoperative period.

It may also be reasonable to do serial testing on the infant, but there is no consensus on the correct timing surgery should be scheduled with advice from a multidisciplinary team of experts including cardiac medical, cardiac surgical, and infectious diseases as indicated. After evaluation of the clinical conditions for a heart team in our hospital, it was decided to realize the surgical procedure in order to avoid progression of heart damage and irreversible heart failure.

However we must remember that, if prudent, surgery should be delayed until the patient’s symptoms have improved and/or testing has been repeated (often after 14 days) and is negative (5).

On the other side, in older patients the inflammatory response due to SARS-CoV-2 infection has been a frequent complication.

In our patient, probably due to the age, it was no presented even with the septic shock o posteriorly associated to the use of CPB during the surgical procedure

It was concluded taht COVID-19 may affect all age patients. However with cautious evaluation and treatment of associated disease as in our case, the patient improves survival, despite severity of viral illness, and during this pandemic period, patients with active COVID-19, at neonatal period we have no treated any other.

TYPES OF HEART DISEASE

Heart disease encompasses a wide range of cardiovascular problems. Various conditions fall under the heart disease umbrella, each affecting the heart or blood vessels in distinct ways. Understanding these types can help in recognizing symptoms early and seeking appropriate treatment. This article explores the primary types of heart disease, their causes, and potential treatments.

1. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

Overview:

Coronary Artery Disease is the most common type of heart disease. CAD occurs when the coronary arteries, responsible for supplying blood to the heart muscle, become hardened and narrowed due to the buildup of cholesterol and other materials, known as plaque, on their inner walls. This process is called atherosclerosis.

Symptoms:

Chest pain (angina)

Shortness of breath

Fatigue

Treatment:

Treatments include lifestyle changes, medication, and possibly procedures like angioplasty or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

2. Heart Arrhythmias

Overview:

Arrhythmias are irregular heartbeats. The heart can beat too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or irregularly. This can be due to a fault in the heart’s electrical system.

Symptoms:

Palpitations

Dizziness

Fainting

Treatment:

Treatment might involve medications, lifestyle adjustments, and in some cases, implantable devices like pacemakers or procedures like catheter ablation.

3. Heart Valve Disease

Overview:

The heart contains four valves: the tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, and aortic valves. These valves open and close to direct blood flow through the heart. Valve disease occurs when one or more of these valves do not function properly.

Symptoms:

Fatigue

Swollen ankles or feet

Shortness of breath

Treatment:

Treatment may include medication, surgical repair, or valve replacement depending on the severity and specific type of valve disease.

4. Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)

Overview:

Heart failure, sometimes known as congestive heart failure, occurs when the heart can’t pump blood as well as it should. This can result from any condition that damages the heart muscle, including CAD, high blood pressure, and heart valve disease.

Symptoms:

Shortness of breath

Persistent coughing or wheezing

Swelling in legs, ankles, and feet

Treatment:

Managing heart failure involves a combination of lifestyle changes, medications, and possibly surgery or devices like ventricular assist devices (VADs) or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs).

5. Cardiomyopathy

Overview:

Cardiomyopathy refers to diseases of the heart muscle. These diseases enlarge or make the heart muscle rigid and more prone to arrhythmias.

Symptoms:

Breathlessness

Swelling of the legs

Fatigue

Treatment:

Treatment focuses on controlling symptoms and may include medications, lifestyle modifications, or devices to help the heart pump more effectively.

6. Congenital Heart Defects

Overview:

Congenital heart defects are structural problems with the heart present from birth. They can involve the walls of the heart, the valves of the heart, and the arteries and veins near the heart.

Symptoms:

Symptoms vary widely and can include cyanosis (a bluish tint to the skin, lips, and fingernails), breathing difficulties, and fatigue.

Treatment:

Treatment depends on the type and severity of the defect and may involve medication, catheter procedures, or surgery.

Conclusion

Heart disease is a broad term that covers various conditions affecting the heart’s structure and function. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of these different types can lead to early diagnosis and treatment, significantly improving quality of life and outcomes for those affected. Regular check-ups and conversations with healthcare providers about heart health can help individuals understand their risks and take proactive steps towards heart disease prevention.

Heart Valve Disorders: Causes, Symptoms, and Innovations in Treatment

Heart valve disorders are conditions where one or more of the heart's valves do not function properly. The heart has four valves: the aortic, mitral, pulmonary, and tricuspid valves. These valves control blood flow in the heart, ensuring it flows in the right direction. When they don’t work correctly, it can affect the heart’s efficiency and overall health.

Causes of Heart Valve Disorders

Heart valve disorders can occur due to various reasons, ranging from congenital conditions (present at birth) to diseases that develop later in life. Some common causes include:

Age-related changes: As we get older, the valves may stiffen, calcify, or become damaged, which can lead to valve issues.

Infections: Bacterial infections such as endocarditis can damage the valves, making them leak or become narrow.

Heart disease: Conditions like coronary artery disease or heart attacks can affect the function of the valves.

Rheumatic fever: This condition, which often develops after a strep throat infection, can damage the heart valves and cause long-term issues.

Congenital defects: Some individuals are born with heart valve issues, which may or may not be noticed until later in life.

Symptoms of Heart Valve Disorders

The symptoms of heart valve problems can vary greatly depending on the severity and type of disorder. In some cases, you may not experience any symptoms at all, while in others, the symptoms can be quite severe. Common signs include:

Shortness of breath: Feeling winded during normal activities is a common symptom, especially if the valve does not open properly (stenosis).

Fatigue: Constant tiredness or feeling worn out can occur because the heart has to work harder to pump blood.

Swelling: Fluid buildup in the feet, ankles, or abdomen can occur if the heart is struggling to pump blood efficiently.

Irregular heartbeat: A fluttering or pounding sensation in the chest may indicate an abnormal heart rhythm caused by valve problems.

Chest pain: While this can be a sign of various heart conditions, it may also result from a heart valve disorder.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it's crucial to seek medical advice. A heart doctor in Bhubaneswar can help diagnose the problem and recommend appropriate treatment options.

Diagnosing Heart Valve Disorders

To diagnose heart valve issues, a heart doctor in Bhubaneswar may use several tests, including:

Echocardiogram: This ultrasound test creates images of the heart and valves, allowing the doctor to see how well they are functioning.

Electrocardiogram (ECG): An ECG measures the heart's electrical activity and can identify irregular rhythms associated with valve problems.

Chest X-ray: This imaging test can show the size and shape of the heart and highlight any potential issues with the valves.

Cardiac catheterization: In some cases, a doctor may insert a catheter into a blood vessel to assess the heart's function and pressure.

Treatment Options for Heart Valve Disorders

Treatment for heart valve disorders varies based on the severity of the condition. Here are some common options:

Medications: If the valve disorder is mild, medication may be prescribed to manage symptoms, such as blood thinners to reduce the risk of blood clots or medications to control blood pressure.

Lifestyle changes: For those with heart valve issues, adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle is crucial. This includes regular exercise, eating a balanced diet, avoiding smoking, and managing stress.

Surgery: In more severe cases, surgery may be necessary. Two primary types of surgery are:

Valve repair: This procedure involves fixing the damaged valve, often preserving the original valve.

Valve replacement: In cases where the valve cannot be repaired, it may be replaced with a mechanical or biological valve.

Minimally invasive procedures: In some situations, doctors may use less invasive techniques such as catheter-based treatments to replace or repair valves without the need for open-heart surgery.

Innovations in Treatment

Advancements in medical technology have significantly improved the treatment options for heart valve disorders. For example:

Transcatheter valve replacement (TAVR): This minimally invasive procedure allows doctors to replace a damaged valve without open surgery. It’s particularly useful for older patients or those who may not be suitable candidates for traditional surgery.

3D printing: Doctors are increasingly using 3D printing to create models of patients' hearts, which can help in planning surgeries and improving outcomes.

Biodegradable stents: These devices can temporarily open a blocked valve or artery and then dissolve after serving their purpose, reducing the need for long-term surgical interventions.

Prevention and Prognosis

While some heart valve disorders are unavoidable, there are steps you can take to reduce the risk of developing them. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing chronic conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, and seeing a doctor regularly for checkups are key. If a valve disorder is caught early, the prognosis is generally good, especially with the innovative treatments available today.

Conclusion

Heart valve disorders are serious conditions that can affect the heart’s ability to function properly. However, with the right treatment, many people with heart valve issues can lead normal, healthy lives. If you notice any symptoms, it’s essential to consult a heart doctor in Bhubaneswar to determine the best course of action for your heart health. Early diagnosis and advances in treatment techniques are making it easier for people to recover and maintain a healthy heart.

Cardiothoracic Surgery at HeartMate Clinic: Advanced Care for Heart and Lung Health

At HeartMate Clinic, we specialize in providing comprehensive cardiothoracic surgery services to help treat a variety of conditions affecting the heart and lungs. Our team of experienced, board-certified cardiothoracic surgeons is dedicated to delivering cutting-edge care with a focus on precision, safety, and patient well-being. Whether you require surgery for heart disease, lung conditions, or other related disorders, HeartMate Clinic offers innovative treatments designed to optimize your recovery and improve your quality of life.

What is Cardiothoracic Surgery?

Cardiothoracic surgery involves surgical procedures that focus on treating conditions of the heart, lungs, esophagus, and other organs within the chest cavity. These surgeries are essential for patients suffering from life-threatening diseases or conditions that cannot be managed by medication alone.

At HeartMate Clinic, we understand that surgery can be a daunting experience, but we are committed to guiding you through each step of the process. Our goal is not only to treat the disease but also to ensure that you feel supported, informed, and empowered throughout your journey.

Common Conditions Treated with Cardiothoracic Surgery

Our cardiothoracic surgeons are equipped to handle a wide range of heart and lung conditions, including:

1. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

Coronary artery disease occurs when the blood vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle become narrowed or blocked, leading to chest pain, heart attacks, and other serious complications. Cardiothoracic surgery may be required to clear blockages and restore blood flow to the heart. The most common procedure for this is coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), a surgery where healthy blood vessels are used to bypass blocked or narrowed coronary arteries.

2. Heart Valve Disease

Heart valve disease involves damage or malfunction of the valves that regulate blood flow through the heart. It can lead to conditions like heart failure, arrhythmias, and other complications. Our surgeons perform both valve repair and valve replacement surgeries, depending on the severity of the damage. The goal is to restore proper valve function and improve the overall efficiency of the heart.

3. Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is a bulging or ballooning of the aorta, the large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. If left untreated, an aortic aneurysm can rupture, leading to life-threatening bleeding. Cardiothoracic surgeons at HeartMate Clinic are skilled in performing aortic repairs, including endovascular stent grafts and traditional open surgeries, to prevent rupture and ensure the aorta functions properly.

4. Congenital Heart Defects

Congenital heart defects are structural abnormalities of the heart that are present at birth. These defects can vary in severity, and surgery may be necessary to correct issues such as holes in the heart or abnormal blood flow pathways. Our team works closely with pediatric cardiologists and pediatric surgeons to provide compassionate care for children and infants with congenital heart conditions.

5. Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is one of the most common and serious cancers affecting individuals worldwide. When diagnosed at an advanced stage, surgery may be the only option to remove tumors or affected lung tissue. The team at HeartMate Clinic is experienced in performing lung resection surgeries, including lobectomy and pneumonectomy, to remove cancerous cells and prevent the disease from spreading.

6. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Emphysema

COPD and emphysema are chronic lung diseases that often require surgical intervention when other treatments are ineffective. Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) and lung transplantation are two procedures that can help patients with advanced COPD and emphysema breathe more easily and improve their quality of life.

7. Esophageal Cancer

Esophageal cancer affects the esophagus, the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. When detected early, surgical removal of the tumor may provide the best chance for a cure. At HeartMate Clinic, we specialize in esophagectomy, the surgical procedure to remove part or all of the esophagus, depending on the extent of the cancer.

Heart Doctor: Essential Guide to Cardiovascular Health

Heart doctors play a vital role in keeping our cardiovascular system healthy. They diagnose and treat heart conditions that affect millions of people worldwide.

These medical experts use advanced tools and techniques to spot heart problems early and create effective treatment plans.

Heart doctors, also called cardiologists, help patients of all ages. They work with people who have heart disease, high blood pressure, and other heart-related issues.

Their goal is to improve heart function and prevent future problems.

Regular check-ups with a heart doctor can save lives. They can catch heart issues before they become serious. This allows for timely treatment and better outcomes for patients.

Key Takeaways

Heart doctors diagnose and treat a wide range of cardiovascular conditions

Regular heart check-ups can catch problems early and improve patient outcomes

Cardiologists use advanced tools and techniques to monitor heart health

Understanding Heart Health

The heart is a crucial organ that pumps blood throughout the body. It works with blood vessels to deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells.

Anatomy of the Heart

The heart has four chambers: two upper atria and two lower ventricles. The right side pumps blood to the lungs, while the left side pumps blood to the rest of the body.

Heart valves control blood flow between chambers. The aortic valve, mitral valve, tricuspid valve, and pulmonary valve open and close with each heartbeat.

The heart muscle, called myocardium, contracts to pump blood. It gets oxygen from coronary arteries that wrap around the heart's surface.

Cardiovascular System Overview

The cardiovascular system includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body. Veins return oxygen-poor blood to the heart.

Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that connect arteries and veins. They allow oxygen and nutrients to move between blood and body tissues.

Blood pressure is the force of blood against artery walls. Normal blood pressure helps blood flow to organs. High blood pressure can damage blood vessels over time.

The heart beats about 100,000 times a day, pumping over 2,000 gallons of blood. A healthy cardiovascular system is key for overall health.

Common Heart Conditions

Heart problems can affect people of all ages. Some conditions are more common than others. Let's look at three main heart issues many people face.

Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease happens when the blood vessels that feed the heart get clogged. Fat and cholesterol build up in the arteries over time. This makes it hard for blood to flow to the heart.

Symptoms include:

Chest pain

Shortness of breath

Feeling tired

Risk factors are:

High blood pressure

Smoking

Being overweight

Doctors can treat it with medicine, surgery, or lifestyle changes. Eating healthy and exercising can help prevent this disease.

Heart Failure

Heart failure means the heart can't pump blood well. It doesn't mean the heart has stopped working. The heart either can't fill with enough blood or can't push it out strongly.

Signs of heart failure:

Swelling in legs and feet

Feeling very tired

Trouble breathing

Causes may be:

Past heart attacks

High blood pressure

Damaged heart valves

Treatment often includes medicine and lifestyle changes. Some people may need special devices or surgery.

Arrhythmias

Arrhythmias are problems with the heart's rhythm. The heart may beat too fast, too slow, or in an uneven way. Some arrhythmias are harmless, but others can be serious.

Common types:

Atrial fibrillation

Bradycardia (slow heartbeat)

Tachycardia (fast heartbeat)

Symptoms can include:

Feeling like your heart is racing

Dizziness

Fainting

Doctors can treat arrhythmias with medicine or procedures. Some people need pacemakers to control their heart rhythm.

Diagnostic Procedures

Heart doctors use several tests to check how well a patient's heart is working. These tests help find and treat heart problems early.

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

An ECG records the heart's electrical activity. It's a quick and painless test.

Small sticky pads are placed on the chest, arms, and legs. Wires connect these pads to a machine.

The machine creates a graph of the heart's beats. This graph shows the heart's rhythm and strength. Doctors look for any odd patterns that might mean heart trouble.

ECGs can spot heart attacks, abnormal rhythms, and other issues. They're often done in a doctor's office or hospital.

Echocardiography

Echocardiography uses sound waves to make pictures of the heart. It's like an ultrasound for pregnant women, but for the heart.

The test is painless and doesn't use radiation.

A technician moves a small device called a transducer over the chest. This device sends out sound waves. The waves bounce off the heart and create moving pictures on a screen.

These pictures show:

Heart size and shape

How well heart valves work

Blood flow through the heart

Any problems with heart walls

Doctors use these images to check for heart disease or damage.

Stress Testing

Stress tests show how the heart works during physical activity. There are different types of stress tests.

The most common one involves walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike.

During the test, the patient's heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure are checked.

The exercise gets harder over time. This makes the heart work harder and pump more blood.

The doctor watches for:

Changes in heart rhythm

Breathing problems

Chest pain

How tired the patient gets

These tests can find blocked arteries or heart rhythm issues. They help doctors plan the best treatment for each patient.

Treatment and Management

Heart doctors use various approaches to treat and manage heart conditions. These include medications, lifestyle changes, and surgical procedures when necessary.

Medications

Heart doctors often prescribe medicines to manage heart problems. Some common drugs are:

• Beta-blockers: These slow heart rate and lower blood pressure.

• ACE inhibitors: They help relax blood vessels and reduce strain on the heart.

• Statins: These drugs lower cholesterol levels in the blood.

• Blood thinners: They prevent clots from forming in the arteries.

Doctors may use one or more of these drugs depending on the patient's condition. It's important to take medications as directed and report any side effects.

Lifestyle Changes

Making healthy choices can greatly improve heart health. Heart doctors often recommend:

• Eating a balanced diet with lots of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

• Getting regular exercise, like walking 30 minutes a day.

• Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol intake.

• Managing stress through relaxation techniques or counseling.

• Keeping a healthy weight to reduce strain on the heart.

These changes can help control blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. They may also boost overall health and well-being.

Surgical Interventions

In some cases, surgery may be needed to treat heart problems.

Common heart surgeries include:

• Angioplasty: A procedure to open blocked arteries using a small balloon.

• Bypass surgery: Creates a new path for blood to flow around a blocked artery.

• Heart valve repair or replacement: Fixes or replaces damaged heart valves.

• Pacemaker implantation: Places a device to control heart rhythm.

These surgeries can be life-saving for some patients.

Recovery times vary, but most people feel better after healing.

Follow-up care is key for the best results.

Diagnostic Tests and Procedures of Interventional Radiology

We focus on providing precise interventional radiology diagnosis and treatment through minimally invasive techniques, offering patients an alternative to traditional surgeries. Our skilled and experienced interventional radiologist uses advanced, cutting-edge and high-precision imaging equipment like CT, MRI, and ultrasound to perform minimally invasive procedures, image-guided targeted treatment like angioplasty, ablations, tumour embolization, and catheter-based procedures for conditions including blood clots, tumours, and blockages without major surgery ensuring exceptional outcomes with quicker recovery and minimal discomfort.

1. CT scan (Computed Tomography): A CT scan utilizes an X-ray machine linked to a computer system to take a series of images of organs from different angles, which helps create detailed 3D pictures of the inside of the body.

2. MRI scan (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): An MRI is an imaging instrument that uses powerful radio waves and magnets to take images of the body in slices.

During the process, the patient has to lie on a table and is pushed into a long chamber, where the MRI makes loud thumping noises and rhythmic beats. A special dye (contrast agent) was injected into a vein, which shows the pictures more brightly.

3. Ultrasound: An ultrasound, also known as ultrasonography or sonography, utilizes high-energy sound waves to produce images of the internal organs of the body. When sound waves contact the body's organs, they are sent back by bouncing off them. A tool called a transducer turns the sound waves into images.

4. Angiography: Angiography is a medical imaging method that uses X-rays to check the blood vessels and heart chambers for anatomical and structural examination. A catheter is inserted into an artery through a small cut (incision) along with a contrast agent.

5. Angioplasty (Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty) (PTCA): Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure to open (widen) the clogged narrowed coronary arteries to restore the regular blood flow to the heart muscle without opening the heart.

6. Stenting: Stenting is a minimally invasive technique made with fabric, metal, silicone mesh or materials, usually used to open and hold the open passages of the narrowed arteries. Stents treat narrowed coronary arteries (provides oxygenated blood to the heart muscle), aneurysm (bulge in the artery's wall) and narrowed airways in the lungs.

7. Embolization: Embolization is a minimally surgical treatment that helps close or block the blood vessels or abnormal blood channels. This is performed by introducing a substance called an embolic agent into the blood vessel to obstruct the flow of blood by using catheters.

8. Chemoembolization: Chemoembolization is a minimally surgical treatment for liver cancer that can be performed when the tumour cannot be treated by surgery or radio frequency ablation (RFA). During this process, chemotherapy drugs and embolic agents are injected into the tumour to block the arteries that supply blood (tumour).

9. Biopsy: In most cases, healthcare professionals must perform a biopsy to confirm the cancer. A biopsy is a minor procedure of removal of a sample of abnormal tissue, which is examined under the microscope and other examinations on the cell sample.

10. Fine-needle Aspiration: FNA (Fine-needle aspiration) is a procedure that healthcare professionals use to get a cell sample from an abnormal area or suspicious lump. It may also perform during a bronchoscopy or endoscopy.

It uses a thin needle and syringe to pull (take) out the abnormal cells, tissue and fluids. It will identify the masses (tumours) in the breast, skin, lymph nodes and thyroid.

11. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE): Uterine Artery Embolization, or Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), is a procedure to treat or reduce the size of symptomatic uterine fibroids (shrink non-cancerous tumours in the uterus) by blocking the blood supply.

12. Endometrial Ablation: Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that destroys the endometrial tissue lining of the uterus to treat abnormal uterine bleeding. It can be caused by several reasons, such as hormonal changes, fibroids and polyps in the uterus.

13. Foreign Body Removal: If someone has an inhaled foreign object lodged in their airway, bronchoscopy is the preferred procedure to remove it. A healthcare professional may need to use rigid or flexible bronchoscopy to remove the object safely.

14. IVC filters: An inferior vena cava filter (IVC) is a tiny medical metal device placed in the inferior vena cava to prevent blood clots from travelling to the lungs. It is used to treat pulmonary embolisms. Healthcare professionals may recommend an IVC filter if the people have blood clots and cannot take blood thinners.

15. Cryotherapy: Cryotherapy is a medical procedure that utilizes extreme cold to freeze and eliminate abnormal cells. Healthcare professionals often use this technique to treat certain types of cancers, including lung cancer, by inducing tissue necrosis or cellular death.

16. Vertebroplasty: When a vertebra fractures or breaks, it leads to the development of bone fragments. Pain will occur if they slide or rub against each other or push into the spinal cord. Vertebroplasty is a medical procedure that involves injecting the affected bone with a cement mixture, which is helpful to fuse the fragments or breaks, strengthen the vertebra and provide relief from the associated pain or discomfort. 

17. Kyphoplasty: Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are medical procedures used to relieve the painful vertebral compression fractures in the spinal column, which can be caused by osteoporosis. A healthcare professional may use the imaging guidance for injecting the special cement mixture into fractured bone (known as vertebroplasty), or a balloon is inserted into the fractured or affected bone to create a space, which can then be filled with cement (known as kyphoplasty)

18. Nephrostomy: Kidneys produce urine, which flows through the ureter to the urinary bladder. Sometimes, urine flow is obstructed due to kidney stones, infections, cancers, trauma, etc. A nephrostomy is a medical procedure to clear out (drain) the urine from the kidney using a catheter (nephrostomy tube).

19. Cholangiography: Cholangiography is a procedure that involves the examination of the bile ducts and gallbladder structures by using a contrast dye to show them up on an X-ray. A healthcare professional sends the endoscope through the throat by numbing it.

20. Fluoroscopy: Fluoroscopy is an imaging method that visualises continuous X-ray images on the monitor screen. It studies moving body structures, much like an X-ray movie. Fluoroscopy can be used alone as a diagnostic tool or in combination with other procedures.

Dr. Amit Gupta - The Leading TAVI Expert in Jaipur

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is referred to by the medical abbreviation TAVI. By replacing an aortic valve that doesn’t open entirely, it enhances blood flow in your heart. TAVI is a common, mostly painless procedure. To access the aortic valve in your heart, a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel in your upper chest or leg. The tube is used to fix a replacement valve over the top of your old one. If you are looking for an expert doctor for TAVI surgery in Jaipur, you have come to the right place. Dr. Amit Gupta is the best TAVI doctor in Jaipur for transcatheter aortic valve implantation surgery. TAVI operations are performed by Dr. Amit Gupta with a great success record who is at the cutting edge of medical innovation.

What Makes Dr. Amit Gupta the Best Cardiologist in Jaipur?

The Role of TAVI in Treating Aortic Stenosis

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is a revolutionary procedure that offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open-heart surgery for patients with severe aortic stenosis. This condition, characterized by the narrowing of the aortic valve, restricts blood flow and can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, fatigue, and breathlessness.

Dr. Amit Gupta, a leading TAVI doctor in Jaipur, specializes in this procedure, which involves implanting a new valve without removing the damaged one. The benefits of TAVI include shorter recovery times, reduced risk of complications, and improved quality of life for patients.
