An 81-year-old mother donated kidney to her 54-year-old son at Apollo Hospitals, Navi MumbaiMs. Kala Shah and her son Mr. Rajen Shah are residents of Mumbai. Mr. Rajen, was suffering from end stage kidney disease and was on hemodialysis 4 times a week since June 2020. He gives a past medical history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension.His kidney function was worsening with peak serum creatinine of more than 10 and needed an immediate kidney transplant. In 2021, in order to save Mr. Rajen, his octogenarian mother decided to donate her kidney.After all the relevant investigations done and when the doctors confirmed that both are medically fit to undergo surgery, the transplant was done. It was ABO Compatible transplant as both mother and son have same blood group i.e. A +ve. The donor doesn’t have any pre-existing diseases and the only risk for the surgery was her age. She went through laparoscopic donor nephrectomy and recovered within 5 days.The recipient made an uneventful recovery post-surgery. At the time of discharge, both showed normal creatinine levels.

The elderly patient who was bedbound when she gotten into Apollo Hospitals was able to astoundingly stand straight and walk the very next day of surgeryJune 2022, Navi Mumbai: Apollo Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, a leading tertiary care hospital, successfully performed a laminectomy with removal of the clot compressing the spinal cord on a 96-year-old paralysed female patient. She is one of the oldest people to undergo successful spine surgery. The procedure was performed over 2 hours by the team of doctors of Apollo Hospitals, Navi Mumbai. The patient could stand in an erect position the very next day of surgery.Laminectomy is a surgery that creates space by removing the lamina — the back part of a vertebra that covers the spinal canal. This allows access to structures in and around the spinal cord. In this case, we successfully removed the clot that is compressing the spinal cord.Dr. Sunil Kutty, Consultant, Brain and Spine Surgery said, “It is extremely rare that such elderly patients are willing to undergo spinal surgery. Often, people are scared of spinal surgeries and have a perception that it would make them bed-ridden. But, here we have a 96-year-old who came to us on a stretcher, stood up and walked out of her bed the very next day of her surgery, defying all the notion people carry in their minds about age as well as spine surgery. However, the patient and her relative’s positive attitude and the patient’s age not being a deterrent, were key factors in the success of the surgery for our team of neurosurgeons and anesthetists.”The 96-year-old patient, a resident of Uran, arrived at Apollo Hospitals Navi Mumbai with complaints of weakness in both lower limbs for 10 days, which resulted in her inability in walking and carrying out daily activities. She also had severe pain in her back radiating to her left leg.An MRI of her spine showed severe compression in L1 and L2 lumbar spine with a displacement of the caudal nerve root (nerve roots that travel down the spine and connect to the other body parts). The neuro team of Apollo Hospitals Navi Mumbai came together and successfully performed the spine surgery on the elderly patient.An L1 laminectomy was performed and a haematoma (a pool of blood outside of a blood vessel) was found in the epidural space with thickened ligamentum flavum (a short but thick ligament). The clot was removed and post-procedure, the patient was hemodynamically stable and made a speedy recovery.Dr. Ravi Shankar, Joint Medical Director, said, “Spine surgery is safe and effective treatment for people who need it. Although most people recover from back pain through exercise and healthy lifestyles, in this case, the age factor played a key role and surgery was the only viable option left to treat the paralyzed patient. However, spinal surgery, even in elderly patients, if necessary is a considerable treatment to improve the quality of life. We are glad that our neurosurgical team has put in their efforts to make this case a successful one.”Mr. Santosh Marathe, Regional CEO, said, “The cohesive efforts of everybody at Apollo – the nurses, anaesthetists, the ICU, and other support staff – coupled with the prompt facilities available at our hospital, result in such exemplary outputs. The patient’s family was encouraging and trusted the doctors at Apollo to conduct this surgery. We are very happy with the result as the patient tolerated the procedure well and stood up the very next day. Apollo Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, a JCI accredited hospital has been performing very complex neuro surgical works for domestic & international patients. The hospital also handles complex head injury cases through its world class emergency services.”About Apollo Hospitals Navi Mumbai: Apollo Hospitals Navi Mumbai is one of the most advanced multi-specialty tertiary care hospitals in the region of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.

KOLKATA, October 27, 2021: For the first time in Eastern India, doctors at Apollo Multispeciality Hospitals gave a new lease of life to an unborn by blood transfusion inside womb. Rima was diagnosed with a rare complication of foetal hydrops during 24th week of pregnancy where fluids get accumulated in the foetus making the baby anaemic.Foetal hydrops is a rare problem (1 in 10,000) during pregnancy, which occurs in the second pregnancy when the mother’s blood group is A- (negative) and the father’s blood group is B+ (positive). In such cases if the first child is born with positive blood group, chances are there that the mother’s body fights the positive cells left after delivery. The presence of these antibodies affects the unborn during the second pregnancy. Hence the blood in the foetus turns into fluid and gets accumulated in the baby’s chest, tummy and under the skin.  Mortality rate of babies with foetal hydrops is 50% to 90% depending on how early it’s detected.Dr Mallinath Mukherjee, Apollo Multispeciality Hospitals said, “In such cases, blood transfusion to the unborn is the only way to save the baby’s life. Even with treatment, survival rate of such babies is extremely low. In this case we have been able to successfully deliver the baby at 35 weeks of pregnancy after 6 blood transfusions. We are also grateful to the health department of the state for trusting and allowing us for this special delivery.”Dr Kanchan Mukherjee, Apollo Multispeciality Hospitals, who performed the blood transfusions, said, “Blood transfusion in foetus is extremely delicate and critical so we had to take utmost care of the baby and the mother during the procedures. With six transfusions, we have been able to increase the haemoglobin of the baby from 3 to 10 and arrange for timely delivery.”Dr Jayanta Kr Gupta, Director & HOD Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Apollo Multispeciality Hospitals, Kolkata said, “We here at Apollo for the very first time in Eastern India did blood transfusion on an unborn and have been able to save the baby’s life from this rare condition of foetal hydrops. Even after the transfusions, it’s extremely critical to decide the timing of the delivery. Blood transfusion in unborn has several risk factors like infection in the womb leading to premature delivery, heart failure of the baby due to too much blood transfusion and even death of the mother if the blood reaches the mother.” Doctors also advised checking blood groups before marriage and taking necessary precautions to avoid such problems during pregnancy. There are several antidotes like Anti D imuno globulin, which is given to the mothers after first delivery to prevent foetal hydrops in second pregnancy.

Kolkata, September 27, 2022: To make citizens able to save lives of people, Apollo Multispeciality Hospitals Kolkata today created awareness about sudden cardiac arrest. Sudden cardiac arrest is a disease where the electrical circuits of the heart go haywire and heart suddenly stops beating. People suffering from sudden cardiac arrest fall suddenly unconscious and this could be happen anywhere to anyone as healthy as fit athletes as well.In case of a heart attack which is caused by the blockages in the heart arteries, the patient complains of chest pain, breathlessness, uncomfortableness, nausea and profuse sweating. He/she can even express the need to take him/her to a hospital and there is time to reach a hospital. But, sudden cardiac arrest as the name suggests is very sudden and in most cases the patient has no symptom. Hence the people around him can only save his life by trying to make him conscious. Cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique that’s useful in many emergencies in which someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped. For an untrained person, who is about the give CPR to a patient, The American Heart Association recommends starting CPR with hard and fast uninterrupted chest compressions of 100 to 120 a minute untilparamedics arrive. If a trained person, doesn’t find pulse and breathing in the patient he must begin CPR within 10 seconds – 30 chest compressions before giving two rescue breaths. This can be done on adults, children and infants needing CPR, but not new-borns (infants up to 4 weeks old).Present at the occasion, Dr. Aftab Khan, Consultant Cardiologist and Electro Physiologist, Apollo Multispecialty Hospitals Kolkata “When the heart suddenly stops, the brain, which is the vital organ to run the body stops receiving blood and if the brain doesn’t receive blood for as long as 3 minutes, it can go into permanent damaged mode, what is known as coma and within 10 minutes this patient can die. Since time is too short for finding a doctor or reaching any hospital, it’s very crucial for people around the patient to revive him.”About the initiative of creating awareness about sudden cardiac arrest, Dr. Surinder Singh Bhatia, DMS, Apollo Multispecialty Hospitals Kolkata, said “1 million people in India get affected by sudden cardiac arrests and every hour about two people in the city suffer from sudden cardiac arrest. Our aim is to make people aware about how to treat those patients immediately till they are taken to any hospital.”CPR can keep oxygen-rich blood flowing to the brain and other organs until emergency medical treatment can restore a typical heart rhythm. To give CPR the correct steps to remember are CAB. C- compressions, A- opening Airway and B- rescue Breathing.Process of CPR:It’s important to make the patient lie down on his or her back on a firm surface and using both hands one needs to push down hard and fast in a specific way on the patient’s chest. Compressions are the most important step in CPR. The lower palm (heel) of the hand should be placed on the patient’s chest, between the nipples and the other hand on top of the first hand.Keeping elbows straight and positioning shoulders above the hands the process is to push straight down on (compress) the chest at least 2 inches (5 centimeters) but no more than 2.4 inches (6 centimeters). Using the entire body weight (not just arms) when doing compressions, is very crucial.A trained person in giving CPR can also give rescue breathing after 30 compressions. The palms should be put on the person’s forehead to gently tilt the head back and with the other hand, the chin should be gently lifted forward to open the airway. After opening the airway the nostrils should be shut for mouth-to-mouth breathing.

Apollo Pediatric Cardiology team accomplishes a rare milestone of performing 100 complex Fontan repairs – for Single ventricle defect, a complex condition.In India 3000 to 5000 children are born with single ventricle defects, out of about 50,000 children born with congenital heart disease every year. Single ventricle defects are complex heart diseases with very large holes in the heart and one of the lower chambers of the heart ( the ventricle) is often rudimentary. Such children would need multiple operations called Fontan Repairs. In the last four years the Pediatric Cardiology team performed 100 Fontan Operations with a success rate of 98%. This is one of the highest number done in this city and the success is comparable to the best centers across the world.Mr. Ravi Krishnan, CEO & Founder Stepathlon, found SACHi as a comprehensive program that addresses all aspects of pediatric care specially prevention , early detection, treatment, funding and follow up care. Hence his company chose to support SACHi in its endeavors.

Little Heroes all set to make their journey back to home post Heart Surgery at Apollo Hospitals, IndoreIt is estimated that 240,000 children are born with heart diseases every year in India. Less than 10% of them receive care on time. Most with complex heart disorders succumb without even seeing their first birthday! Studies reveal that 10% of all infant mortality can be attributed to congenital heart diseases alone. Others indicate an increase in the number of pediatric cardiac disorders. Added to that is the small numbers of dedicated pediatric centers, fewer pediatric cardio thoracic surgeons, and even lesser pediatric cardiologists.Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) is flagship government initiative aiming at early identification and early intervention for children from birth to 18 years. As part of this initiative recently over 10 children under the age of 10 – were identified through an extensive screening program from districts of Gwalior – and sent on to Apollo Hospitals in Indore in the presence of our honorable CM Shri Shivraj Singh Chauhan earlier this month.Speaking on the occasion and sharing details, Senior Pediatric Cardiac Surgeon Dr Nishith Bhargava shared ‘Upon arrival, we have a detailed protocol whereby the child undergoes a detailed assessment of his heart status. This is followed by a planning for the surgery and in this batch of children we received only seven of them were found to be fit for surgical repair and were operated’’.Adding Dr Sanjukta Bhargava, Senior Consultant, Pediatric Cardiologist shared ”while we were able to offer care to most of the patients, at times we also come across children who cannot be operated upon mostly because of late presentation. In this group too which travelled from Gwalior three kids had passed the time-line and I personally feel the Government is doing a lot of work and over time we should see improvement in this scenario”Dr. Nishith Bhargava has been pivotal in setting up the Pediatric Heart Surgery Department as part of the Apollo Hospitals in Indore. The unit under his leadership has been instrumental in bringing cheer to over 250 little hearts the team operated upon during the short span of 18 months. This includes some path breaking work which included extremely challenging neonatal pacemaker implantation in a 1.8 kg child just 1 day old”.Speaking on the occasion, Shri Tulsiram Silawat, Cabinet Minister, Govt. of M.P. shared; it is such a blessing to see the little lives with a happy smile. They beam with hope, and hope of a new India and I complement Dr. Nishith and the Apollo Hospitals team in the commendable work they are doing in this space. 

Apollo Hospitals, Indore announces the introduction of Renal Denervation Therapy (RDN) a novel innovation for the treatment of uncontrolled HypertensionIn India, nearly 10.8% of all deaths are because of hypertensionRDN Procedure done by importing RDN device on compassionate groundsIntervention Cardiologist Dr. Sarita Rao amongst the first women cardiologist in SAARC region to.Uncontrolled hypertension can be quite a challenge and life was indeed tough for Mr. Singh at the age of 56 to pass each day with over 8 pills a day to manage his hypertension and still find it difficult to manage. To make matters worse he suffered a brain stroke dur to very high blood pressure and he visited the Heart Institute at Apollo Hospitals, Vijay Nagar and met with Dr. Roshan and Dr. Sarita Rao.Dr. Rao adjusted his medications over a period of one year, on review of his medicines gathered there was no more scope of increasing the dose or adding any further medication and his high blood pressure was not only posing risk to his other organs but had also exposed Mr. Singh with a serious risk of a brain hemorrhage.Upon a detailed assessment by a multidisciplinary team a decision was reached to go for Renal Denervation (RDN) therapy a novel breakthrough in the management of uncontrolled also known as resistant hypertension.The device was specially imported after receiving the regulatory approvals and Mr Singh successfully underwent the procedure on 17th October 2020 which this year is also celebrated as world hypertension day. This procedure was done by the Apollo Indore team comprising of Dr K. Roshan Rao, Dr Sarita Rao, Dr Kshitij Dubey, Dr Vikas Gupta and Dr Shirish Agrawal.Speaking about this, Dr. Sarita Rao, said, “Hypertension is defined as blood pressure that is constantly higher than the recommended level of 140/90 mm Hg. Due to lack of symptoms, this condition gets detected only years after the actual onset. Precautionary measures are therefore a must, especially in those with a family history of the condition. Uncontrolled hypertension can affect most body organs over time and put more load on the heart causing it to enlarge and weaken. Over time, this can lead to heart failure. It is thus imperative to undergo regular health check-ups more so during the Covid-19 pandemic in order to understand whether your vitals are in control or not. It is also imperative to build your immunity by eating healthy and undertaking regular physical exercise.”Adding further they, said, “Hypertension is a chronic condition and lifestyle changes are very important in managing and preventing it. While medication can control blood pressure, it cannot cure the condition. Therefore, the importance of a healthy lifestyle must be inculcated from a very young age, especially in those with a family history of high blood pressure.”Dr. K Roshan Rao, Head of the Cardiology Department quoted that incidentally this procedure was done on world hypertension day; the theme of this years is “Measure Your Blood Pressure, Control It, Live Longer.” which makes people aware of their blood pressure numbers. And what could have been a better day to make people conscious about the disease and to avoid such severe hypertension by apt lifestyle and therapeutic modifications, and now on availability of this new age device at Apollo Indore to treat what otherwise was untreatable.Dr. Ashok Bajpai, Director and Sr Consultant Chest Medicine, Apollo Hospitals, Indore said, “As the leaders of state-of-the-art healthcare in the region, we are happy at this innovative step undertaken by our team of cardiologists, and are confident of introducing more such advancements that help transform the cardiac care paradigm over the coming days. We will continue to enhance and expand our bouquet of services, and lead from the front in the introduction of life-saving innovations that have a major impact on the life and wellbeing.

Apollo Hospitals, Indore accomplishes pin-holeheart valve replacement using TAVR in 93 year-old man, without open heart surgeryTransAortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) procedure allows surgery on patients who unsuitable or high risk for open heart surgeryTAVR or TransAortic Valve Replacement, a minimally invasive surgical procedure, was successfully carried out on a 93-year old patient at Apollo Hospitals, Indore despite numerous challenges due to the lockdown. The nonagenarian with severe breathlessness and inability to lie downwas airlifted to Indore, where he was diagnosed witha critical condition of severe stenosis of the aortic valve. The only alternative was a valve replacement that had to be carried out immediately. Open-heart valve replacement surgery was not an option due to age and co-existing health issues including a cardiac history with a bypass surgery, angioplasty, and renal dysfunction.The patient was offered the advanced option of TAVR or Transformative Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), an advanced minimally invasive technique that allows surgery on patients who unsuitable or high risk for open-heart surgery. The advanced procedure was successfully performed on 17thJune 2020. The patient recovered well and was out of bed in just 4 hours, ready to be discharged the next day.Dr. K Roshan Rao, Senior Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, Apollo Hospitals, Indore said,“Patients with calcification of the leaflets of the heart valve, that open and close with the flow of blood, often present with symptoms only after the age of 70-75 years. At this age, a majority are not suitable for open-heart surgery. However, if not treated, survival is difficult. TAVR is a revolutionary technique and a blessing for such patients so that they can have a prolonged healthy lifestyle with improved quality of life. Whereas in conventional open heart surgery, the chest cavity needs to be opened by cutting through the sternum to allow the surgeon to operate on the heart, TAVR is a minimally invasive surgical technique where inner organs are accessed via needle-puncture of the skin, rather than a scalpel.”In TAVR, a miniaturized valve is inserted through a catheter, a thin flexible tube, from the groin into a blood vessel under local anaesthesia. The deployed valve reaches the base of the aorta at the site of the aortic valve. The doctor then opens a balloon that inflates the valve pushing aside the old valve and overcoming the stenosis or narrowing. Using MAC anaesthesia or monitored anaesthesia care, the patient isaware but relaxed throughout the procedure that takes about an hour as compared to 5-6 hours required for an open-heart surgery.There is no need of general anaesthesia, a midline sternal incision, which was required in open heart surgery, thereby reducing prolonged hospitalization, and instead of a week’s stay, a patient who has undergone TAVR goes back home walking on the third day.The other benefits of TAVR include reduced and negligible need for blood transfusions, and reduced stroke risk of less than 1% as against 5-7% in conventional open-heart surgery.Dr. Sarita Yadav Rao, Senior Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, Apollo Hospitals, Indore said, “We are proud of having pulled off this feat at a time when the nation is in a lockdown to fight the COVID pandemic. Reports suggest over 5 lakh elective surgeries were postponed across the country. However, in this case, we could afford to wait for the lockdown to end, as any delay could have worsened the patient’s condition and could have been fatal. The team of doctors included the medical and surgical teams as also experts in infection prevention and control to ensure that all measures for the safety of the patient were taken, and the procedure took place with precautions including the highest Standards of Excellence in Infection Control Protocols and Best Practices. It was a testament to the efforts of the entire team that the procedure was performed with 100% success.”The other members of the team at Apollo Hospitals, Indore included Dr. Shirish Agarwal, Jr. Consultant/ Associate Consultant Cardiologist, Dr. Vikas Gupta, Senior Consultant, Anaesthesia and Dr. KshitijDube, Senior Consultant, CTVS.Dr. Hari Prasad, President, Apollo Hospitals said, “TAVR and other advanced procedures are all set to change the face of cardiac care in India. The benefits when compared to conventional open-heart surgery are incomparable. These advanced minimally invasive procedures allows us give a second lease of life to many patients who were previously classified as too high risk or inoperable. Apollo Hospitals is constantly striving to bring the latest advanced therapies for patients in India. Our trained experts with years of experience in cardiac care use scientific evidence based approaches, precision techniques, cutting-edge devices and medical equipment to overcome any medical challenges. On the anvil are newer structural interventions including Mitral clip, trans-catheter mitral, tricuspid and pulmonary interventions which would allow many patients who cannot undergo surgery to benefit from minimally invasive therapies, giving them new hope and an improved quality of life.”He added, “That this procedure was carried out during the COVID pandemic is testament to our teams commitment to deliver world-class healthcare in the face of any and all challenges. We are proud that even amidst the COVID pandemic and lockout, we have continued to delivery lifesaving healthcare with proper precautions and protocols in place.”About Apollo Hospitals GroupApollo Hospitals was established in 1983 by Dr. Prathap C Reddy, renowned as the architect of modern healthcare in India.
