Nagpur: In a first of its kind, city’s premier institute New Era Hospital & Research Institute preformed mitral valve replacement without surgery. The hospital has used angiography method rather than open heart surgery to perform the replacement of valve which itself is a rare procedure.
The 70-year old male patient namely Moreshwar Bhave had already underwent an open heart surgery for mitral valve replacement eight years back. But since few months, he started feeling the same complaints as before. Therefore, he visited New Era Hospital & Research Institute, Nagpur and consulted the senior cardiologist Dr. Nidheesh Mishra. Diagnostic procedure was done i.e Echocardiography, which showed failing of mitral valve which was replaced 8 years ago.
