Mumbai- 51-year-old woman Mrs. Swati Pandit (name changed) from Dahisar started complaining of chest pain of left side frequently and after taking basic treatments from local doctors she didn’t get relief from this pain. Her family decided to take for detailed evaluation from renowned Hospitals in Borivali and She was then referred to Dr Maunil Ajay Bhuta- Chief Interventional Radiologist at Apex Mulitspeciality Hospitals, Borivali who advised an CT Aortogram after her ECG, 2d echo and blood tests which all turned out to be normal.  CT Aortogram clinched the diagnosis which was a descending thoracic aortic dissection and aneurysm. Commenting on this Dr. Maunil Ajay Bhuta, Chief Interventional Radiologist says, “The minimal invasive procedure (TEVAR- Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair) was performed for life threatening (impending rupture) huge thoracic aortic aneurysm, a rare condition.Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure used to repair a thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection. TEVAR is a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery and is associated with much shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery times. Aortic aneurysm is a pathological balloon-like bulge in the aorta (the main artery that carries blood from heart to the rest of the body). The 51-year-old woman was suffering from thoracic aortic aneurysm for the last few months. This condition was very critical and needed urgent treatment as it can be dangerous and life threatening. Hence she was advised an urgent TEVAR (Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair) for the same which is an expensive state of the art treatment. Subsequently the financial sanctions were made by the Apex Hospital Management in coordination with ESIC.”

This surgery was successfully conducted by Dr. Maunil Ajay Bhuta (Interventional Radiologist) Dr. Vaibhav Shah (CVTS surgeon) and Dr. Sagar Yesale (Anesthetist) and the entire team with the patient getting discharged in the next few days with total symptomatic relief. The TEVAR procedure is very complex as the placement of the graft in the aorta must be very precise. The aneurysm may rupture during the procedure so it required the most advanced OT and expert’s hands which is accessible in every Hospital of Apex group of Hospitals.
