Mr. Rahman was suffering from a heart ailment for many years and had been on medications. During this time, his symptoms aggravated to the extent that it was difficult for him to carry out his routine activities. After a thorough evaluation, he was found to have idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and needed a heart transplant immediately. The doctors at R N Tagore Hospital, Kolkata optimised his medicines until he received a donor. Over this period, his condition deteriorated and was admitted to the hospital with heart failure wherein a balloon pump was inserted in his failing heart as a temporary support.
After discussing these concerns with the patient and his relatives, they decided to go for a Left Ventricle Assist Device (LVAD) implantation as a destination therapy. This artificial pump is connected to the heart by opening the chest and using a heart-lung machine.
The team at R N Tagore Hospital, Kolkata successfully performed the surgery led by Dr. Mrinalendu Das, Senior Consultant, Cardiac Surgery - Adult, Cardiac Surgery - Paediatric, Dr. Anup, Consultant, Cardiology - Adult, Dr. Ayan Kar, Consultant, Cardiology - Adult and the department of Cardiac Anaesthesia, Critical Care and Critical Care Nursing. Currently, the patient is doing well and leading his normal daily life.
