Too risky for open surgery, this patient’s heart was treated without opening the chest
A Kenyan woman, deemed too high-risk for repeat open-heart surgery due to a failing artificial valve, found a life-saving solution in India. Doctors at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital successfully performed a transcatheter valve-in-valve procedure, implanting a new valve without chest surgery. She has since shown significant recovery and returned home.
