For the first time in Odisha, beating heart ASD closure with fast track anesthesia was done by a CTVS team of the Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) here recently. This was a REDO mitral valve replacement.
A 13-year-old female child was operated by the CTVS team for atrial septal defect (ASD) by beating heart surgery and fast track anesthesia.
The large defect was repaired by pericardial patch with beating heart outflow occlusion technique. The patient was put on fast track anesthesia protocol by which she was extubated on the operation table itself without requiring postoperative mechanical ventilation.
The team of CTVS surgeons were Dr Bana Bihari Mishra, Dr Nimai charan Behera, Cardiac Anesthetists Dr Ashok Kumar Badamali, Dr Jyoti Ranjan Parida and Perfusionist Saumyakant Satpathy and Subishna Bal.
