Chennai, 1st April 25 : Kauvery Hospital,
Vadapalani, has treated a 12-year-old girl , who was battling a rare and
life-threatening heart condition. The hospital’s expert team of doctors, led by
Dr. Anbarasu Mohanraj, Clinical lead Cardiovasular & Thoracic surgery
performed an intricate and high-risk surgery known as Extended Septal
Myectomy, marking a significant milestone in the treatment of Hypertrophic
Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM)in children.
HOCM is a genetic condition that causes the thickening of the
heart muscle, and while it is more commonly seen in adults, it is an extremely
rare and dangerous condition in children. In this case, the young patient also
had a Sub-Aortic Membrane, a rare tissue growth beneath the aortic valve, making her
condition even more complex. The condition posed a serious risk to her life,
with symptoms such as fainting, chest pain, and even sudden cardiac arrest.
Despite the overwhelming odds, the young girl’s journey took a
turn for the better when she arrived at Kauvery Hospital, where a team of five
highly skilled surgeons, led by Dr. Anbarasu Mohanraj, performed a complex and
life-saving surgery to remove the thickened heart muscle and resect the
Sub-Aortic Membrane. The surgery was done using a Heart-Lung Machine and
carried significant risks, but thanks to the dedication and expertise of the
medical team, the surgery was a success.
The little patient’s recovery was nothing short of a miracle.
Within just 48 hours of surgery, she was out of the ICU and making remarkable
progress. Today, she is ready to return her heart healed, and her dreams
restored. Once uncertain about her future, her aspiration to become a doctor
has been reignited with new hope and determination.
“This surgery was a highly complex and delicate procedure,
especially considering the young age of the patient and the presence of the
Sub-Aortic Membrane,” said Dr. Anbarasu Mohanraj, Clinical lead & Senior
Consultant Cardiovasular & Thoracic Surgenry at Kauvery Hospital
Vadapalani . “To see her smile
and hear her talk about her dream of becoming a doctor again is the most
rewarding part of our work. We are overjoyed that she has overcome this
challenge, and we wish her all the best as she returns to her family and
community.”
Dr. Aravindan Selvaraj, Co-Founder and Executive Director of
Kauvery Group Hospitals , expressed his pride in the team’s successful
outcome and the care that was provided to the young patient. “At Kauvery, we
don’t just treat conditions we treat people, with love, empathy, and a promise
to restoring their quality of life. This surgery’s outcome is an example of our
