Secunderabad Medicover Doctors Pioneer Stitch-Free Heart Surgery for Elderly Patient

• Medicover Hospitals in Secunderabad successfully treated a 72-year-old woman with severe mitral valve leakage without open-heart surgery.
• The patient suffered from breathing difficulties, shortness of breath, and severe fatigue, initially attributed to age.
• A multidisciplinary heart team, led by Dr. Pramod Kumar Kuchulakanti, opted for a minimally invasive catheter-based method due to the patient's age and health risks.
• A small tube was inserted through a leg blood vessel, and advanced imaging was used to reduce valve leakage.
• The patient's health is now stable, and she performs daily tasks independently, highlighting the safety and effectiveness of modern, non-invasive treatments for the elderly.
