FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 13, 2009 -- With health cost rising in United States and Europe, a hospital in India (located in Gurgaon area of New Delhi ) is becoming attraction of medical tourism because of its competitive price for Open Heart Surgery, Bypass Surgery and any other cardiovascular treatments and surgeries.

Recently a team of doctors at Artemis Hospital guided by Dr. Kushagra Kataria, CEO and Chief Cardiothoracic Surgeon performed most complex heart surgery (operation) replacing parts of heart.

Doctors at this super specialty Hospital in Gurgaon (India) performed a rare open heart surgery. The 8 hour procedure that happened on August 10 involved "aortic valve replacement, aortic arch grafting, artery reconstruction and patient revival".

For Shailesh,

the ordeal began in January when she experienced difficulty in breathing and chest pain. On examination, doctors told her about the congenital defect that had resulted in weakening of blood vessels in the heart. ‘‘We had gone to several hospitals, but doctors refused to take my case’’.

The team of experts at Artemis Hospital performed a rare multiple cardiovascular surgery that lasted eight hours. Doctors had also found that her "aortic valve was not functioning properly" for which an artificial valve had to be implanted. Despite the risks involved the surgery had to be carried out, said Dr. Kushagra Katariya, as "this was Shailesh's only chance".

After the surgery, Dr. Kushagra Katariya said: "This was one of the most

complex surgeries I have undertaken due to the sheer nature of the case. The highest risk that we encountered was due to the abnormally large size of the aneurysm, which led to the aneurysmal aorta being stuck to the back of the chest. The tear extended to the artery that supplies blood to the brain. Therefore, it meant that utmost care had to be taken from the time we entered the chest cavity. The chances of perforation were very high, which could have led to instant death."
