Faridabad (Haryana) [India], December 1:<\/strong> In a remarkable medical achievement, a young male patient suffering from a rare and life-threatening<\/em>\u00a0condition called\u00a0Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH)<\/strong>\u00a0was successfully treated by a multidisciplinary team led by renowned cardiothoracic surgeon\u00a0Dr. Anupam Das<\/strong>. The complex procedure, known as a\u00a0bilateral pulmonary thromboendarterectomy<\/strong>, is considered one of the most challenging surgeries in cardiothoracic medicine.<\/p>\n

A Rare and Dangerous Disease<\/strong><\/p>\n

CTEPH affects an estimated\u00a01\u20133.2%<\/strong> of individuals who develop blood clots in their leg veins (Deep Vein Thrombosis \u2013 DVT). In this condition, massive clots travel from the deep veins to the lungs, blocking major pulmonary arteries.<\/p>\n

If untreated, the rising pressure on the right side of the heart can cause progressive breathlessness, coughing of blood, and eventual heart failure.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a condition where life expectancy can reduce to nearly\u00a05% within five years<\/strong> without treatment,\u201d explains Dr. Das.<\/p>\n

Critical Condition on Admission<\/strong><\/p>\n

The patient had a history of leg vein thrombosis two years ago and had discontinued blood-thinning medications prematurely. In recent weeks, his condition worsened rapidly with severe breathlessness and blood in sputum.
\nUpon admission, his oxygen saturation had fallen to\u00a084%<\/strong>, and his lungs were heavily clogged with clots. He was placed on a ventilator but did not respond to medical therapy, prompting the need for emergency surgical intervention.<\/p>\n

A Six-Hour, High-Stakes Operation<\/strong><\/p>\n

The high-risk surgery lasted nearly\u00a0six hours<\/strong>, involving:<\/p>\n

\u00b7192 minutes<\/strong>\u00a0on a heart-lung machine<\/p>\n

\u00b785 minutes<\/strong>\u00a0with the heart stopped<\/p>\n

\u00b735 minutes<\/strong>\u00a0of complete circulatory arrest at a body temperature of\u00a022\u00b0C<\/strong><\/p>\n

The surgery required opening both pulmonary arteries and meticulously removing clots from within the lungs\u2014an extremely time-sensitive procedure due to the risk of organ damage when circulation is stopped.<\/p>\n

The expert team included:<\/p>\n

\u00b7Surgeons: Dr. Anupam Das (Lead), Dr. Murtaza<\/p>\n

\u00b7Anaesthesia: Dr. Rohit, Dr. Seema<\/p>\n

\u00b7Perfusionists: Mr. Retam, Ms. Neha, Ms. Megha<\/p>\n

\u00b7Scrub Nurses: Mr. Prahlad, Mr. Chandrabhan, Ms. Anuradha, Ms. Yogesh<\/p>\n

\u201cThis surgery demands perfect coordination, deep planning, and calm execution. Even a minor bleed in the lungs or right heart failure can make survival extremely difficult,\u201d said Dr. Das.<\/p>\n

A Successful Recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n

Post-surgery, the patient showed dramatic improvement.<\/p>\n

\u00b7Lung pressures returned to normal<\/p>\n

\u00b7He was removed from the ventilator within 48 hours<\/p>\n

\u00b7Follow-up bronchoscopy confirmed clean airways<\/p>\n

\u00b7He was discharged with stable vital signs and\u00a097% oxygen saturation on room air<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis outcome is the result of precise teamwork between cardiac surgery, pulmonology, ICU specialists, and perfusion experts,\u201d Dr. Das added.<\/p>\n

A Message of Awareness<\/strong><\/p>\n

CTEPH often goes undiagnosed until it becomes life-threatening. Dr. Das emphasized the importance of:<\/p>\n

\u00b7Timely diagnosis<\/p>\n

\u00b7Strict adherence to blood-thinning medication after DVT<\/p>\n

\u00b7Early referral to specialized cardiac centers<\/p>\n

\u00b7Annual CT follow-ups for at-risk patients<\/p>\n

After such surgeries, patients must permanently stop smoking, continue blood thinners for life, and remain under regular cardiac supervision\u2014but they can lead a\u00a0completely normal life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A Significant Milestone for Cardiac Care<\/strong><\/p>\n

The successful completion of this rare and difficult surgery highlights growing expertise in the region and offers hope to patients with advanced pulmonary hypertension who previously had limited treatment options in India<\/p>\n
