A 56 Year Old Underwent Successful Dual Valve Replacement | Open Heart Surgery

Meet Mr. Abhra Kumar, a 56-year-old from Chhattisgarh, as he shares his experience at Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. In 1991, he underwent heart valve repair surgery, which resolved his issues for many years. However, last year he began experiencing breathing problems, trouble sleeping, and extreme tiredness after walking. After consulting several doctors in Pune, he was advised to undergo another operation. Seeking the best care, Mr. Abhra Kumar decided to have the surgery at India’s top hospital. His brother, who lives in Hyderabad, recommended Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills.

Mr. Abhra Kumar booked an online appointment with Dr. Sanjay Kumar Agarwal, a Consultant Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeon. In October, he visited Apollo Hospitals, where Dr. Agarwal informed him that his previously repaired valve needed to be replaced. To help Mr. Abhra mentally prepare for the operation, Dr. Sanjay Kumar Agarwal gave him three months. Once ready, Mr. Abhra Kumar underwent all necessary tests and was declared fit for surgery.

He successfully underwent open-heart surgery with dual valve replacement, one aortic and one mitral. Now, one month post-surgery, most of his problems have been resolved. He can walk on his own and come from the main gate to the hospital without any difficulty. Mr. Abhra expresses his sincere gratitude to Dr. Sanjay Kumar Agarwal for giving him a new lease on life.
