Udaipur: Revolutionary Cardiac Procedure Performed at PIMS Hospital
Pacific Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) Hospital, Udaipur, has achieved a major medical breakthrough by successfully closing a congenital heart defect without open-heart surgery. This minimally invasive procedure was performed at the Cardiology Department, marking a significant milestone in pediatric cardiac care.
PIMS Chairman Ashish Agrawal announced that a young child’s heart defect was corrected without any incision or open surgery, making it a painless and safe procedure. The treatment was conducted free of cost under the Chiranjeevi Yojana, reaffirming PIMS Hospital’s commitment to providing advanced healthcare to all.
Breakthrough Cardiac Procedure – ASD Device Closure Surgery
The procedure, known as Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Device Closure, was performed by Senior Consultant & Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Mahesh Jain and his expert team. ASD is a congenital heart defect where a hole remains in the heart’s septum, failing to close naturally after birth. This condition, if untreated, can lead to breathing difficulties, dizziness, weakness, and hindered physical growth.
💡 Key Highlights of ASD Device Closure Surgery:
✔ No open-heart surgery required
✔ Minimally invasive technique using a catheter
✔ Quicker recovery with minimal pain
✔ Performed under local anesthesia
🚀 How the ASD Device Closure Works:
The procedure involves inserting a small, umbrella-shaped device through a catheter, which is guided to the heart’s defect site. Once positioned correctly, the device expands and seals the hole permanently.
Team of Experts Behind the Success
The complex procedure was successfully executed under the leadership of:
✔ Dr. Mahesh Jain – Senior Cardiologist & Interventional Expert
✔ Dr. Vipin Sisodia – Cardiac Anesthetist
✔ Dr. Vivek Rawat – CTVS Surgeon
The combined expertise of these specialists ensured a seamless and risk-free surgery, giving the young patient a new lease on life.
Why This Achievement Matters?
✔ Eliminates the need for risky open-heart surgery
✔ Faster recovery & reduced hospital stay
✔ Minimally invasive, safe, and effective
✔ Affordable & accessible under government healthcare schemes
By pioneering non-invasive cardiac treatments, PIMS Hospital is setting new benchmarks in advanced heart care.
