Ropar, February 14, 2024: In a remarkable achievement, the Cardiology Department at Fortis Hospital Mohali has given a new lease of life to a 73-year-old woman, weighing only 43 kg, through the most advanced cutting-edge technology of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR).

The team of doctors led by Dr Ankur Ahuja, Senior Consultant, Cardiology, Fortis Hospital Mohali, gave a new lease of life to the elderly woman suffering from the high-risk ailment without any major complications.

TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a diseased aortic valve — that is narrowed and does not open fully — with a man-made valve.  This innovative treatment involves implanting a new aortic valve through the groin route, eliminating the need for traditional open-chest surgery.

The patient was presented with symptoms of shortness of breath and heart palpitations, prompting her to seek medical attention from Dr. Ahuja at Fortis Mohali. Subsequent medical investigations revealed a diseased aortic valve, which, if left untreated, could lead to heart failure, chest pain, and even death.

Dr Ahuja conducted TAVR on the patient wherein her diseased aortic valve was replaced with an artificial valve on 17th November, 2023. Subsequently the patient underwent angioplasty (procedure to widen blocked or narrowed arteries) and stent to one of her coronary arteries with rotablation and IVUS assistance. While rotablation involves delivering stents in hardened arteries to improve blood flow, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is an imaging modality to detect plaque burden, stent sizing etc.

The patient experienced a smooth post-operative recovery, with her kidney function improving despite the contrast used during the procedures, which can sometimes worsen kidney function. She was discharged five days after surgery and has since been leading a normal life.

Reflecting on the case, Dr. Ahuja stated, “The patient has been regularly monitored and continues to enjoy a healthy life. Swift medical intervention played a crucial role in saving her from this life-threatening condition.”

Fortis Mohali offers advanced ‘Mechanical Thrombectomy’ treatment forbrain stroke patients

— Fortis Mohali is a 24×7 Stroke-Ready Hospital and offers Mechanical Thrombectomy which can increase treatment window for some brain stroke patients to up to 24 hours —

Ropar, August 18, 2023:Brain stroke is a predominant factor for long-term disability and even death. The life-threatening medical condition causes irreversible damage to the brain cells. However, emerging advanced healthcare technologies such as Mechanical Thrombectomy, is available 24×7 at select hospitals, Fortis Mohali, being one of them. Mechanical Thrombectomyin select caseshashelped save life of critical patientseven after 24 hours of suffering a stroke.

Mechanical Thrombectomy is a minimally-invasive procedure that involves inserting a catheter into the brain artery to remove the clot. This allows restoration of blood flow and saves a patient from disability or death by increasing treatment window in brain stroke patientstill 24 hours.

In one such case, the team of doctors led by Dr Prof Vivek Gupta, Additional Director of Interventional Neuroradiology, Fortis HospitalMohali, recently treated a 42-year-old man, who was rushed to Fortis Mohali,post 12 hours after suffering a stroke. The Patientwas unable to speak, had facial drooping, and had also paralyzed the right side of his body. Dr Gupta conducted Mechanical Thrombectomyon the patient to remove a clot from his brain orneck – sometimes arteries are blocked in the neck, sometimes in the brain, and at times, both the brain and neck have to beopened as per the medical condition.The Patient had a smooth, post-operative recovery and was discharged five days after the procedure.He has recovered fully and is leading a normal life today.

Discussing the advanced treatment option,Dr Gupta, said, “Mechanical Thrombectomy can be done till 24-hours after the onset of stroke in selected patients. It is a minimally invasive procedure wherein an interventional neuroradiologist uses specialized equipment to remove a clot from a patient’s brain or neck artery.”

DrProf Gupta, said, “Fortis Hospital Mohaliis one of the few centres in the North Region to offer 24×7 advanced Neuro-interventional treatment and comprehensive stroke care, including CT Perfusions and Mechanical Thrombectomy, to patients round the clock.The expert team of doctors comprising expert neurologists, interventional neuro-radiologists, neurosurgeons and anesthetists provide 24×7 stroke treatment. All services related to stroke diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation, are provided under one roof.”

Meanwhile, brain stroke patients sometimes also require surgical management through the most advanced technique of Neuro-Navigation. Dr Harsimrat Bir Singh Sodhi, Senior Consultant, Neuro-Spine Surgery, Fortis Hospital Mohali,who has treated several brain stroke patients through surgical intervention, said, “Neuro-navigation is a computer-assisted, invasive surgery that allows a surgeon to ‘navigate’ within the brain with precision. Extreme caution is taken not to damage the underlying brain tissue. Surgical management of stroke is required in patients when swelling around the affected brain tissue increases. This can happen anytime between the first 5-7days of the occurrence.Some patients might develop increased fluid in the brain, which might also require surgery.”

“Both Neuro-Navigation and a high-end microscope are available at Fortis Mohali. Excellent surgery outcomes are also ensured through the Neuro-Anaesthesia team and a fully-equipped Neurosurgery ICU. The Neuro-Anesthesia team is trained to take all necessary precautions during and after the surgery, especially problems related to the risk of excessive bleeding. All these factors lead to a successful surgery,” added Dr Sodhi.

— Delay in surgery would have led to permanent vision loss and a risk of permanent coma —

For Detailed


Ropar, September 16, 2022: The Neurosurgery Team (Brain and Spine) at Fortis Hospital Mohali has given a new lease of life to Ropar-based Dharamjeet Kaur (68), who was diagnosed with  a golf ball-sized brain tumour measuring about 7cms, and treated  via the most advanced technique of Neuro-navigation. Any delay in surgery would have led to permanent loss of vision and a risk of permanent coma.

Patient Dharamjeet Kaur was undergoing an extremely challenging time as she had speech and vision impairment, numbness in both the lower limbs, was unable to walk and had been bedwetting. She was rushed to Fortis Mohali in a semi-conscious state on 30th May this year.

The team of doctors led by Dr Harsimrat Bir Singh Sodhi, Senior Consultant, Neuro-Spine Surgery, Fortis Hospital Mohali, examined the Patient. A brain MRI revealed a golf ball-sized tumour in the front of the brain (Frontal lobe), which was compressing the nerves and had caused edema (inflammation and swelling), leading to a semi-comatose state.

Using the most advanced technique of Neuro-Navigation, Dr Sodhi along with the Neuro-Anaesthesia team surgically removed the tumour from the Patient’s brain using a high-end microscope on 1st June this year. 

Neuro-navigation is a computer-assisted surgery that allows a surgeon to ‘navigate’ within the brain with precision. The surgery lasted for about four hours during which Dr Sodhi took extra care not to damage the underlying brain nerves and the visual apparatus– area in the brain controlling the vision and surrounding visual control.

Patient Dharamjeet Kaur had a smooth post-operative recovery and was taken off the ventilator within 12 hours of the surgery. Her vision started to improve and gradually the numbness in her legs improved drastically.

Discussing the case, Dr Sodhi, said, “Brain tumour surgery has its own set of challenges. There is always a risk of massive bleeding from the tumour itself, leading to an increase in brain swelling. There can be bleeding from a large blood vessel overlying the tumour, or it can lead to brain fluid coming out of the nose post-surgery. The Neuro-Anaesthesia team took all necessary precautions during and after the surgery. Neuro-anaesthesia teams are available only at a select centres such as Fortis Mohali. They take care of anesthesia-related problems in critical cases such as intra-operative blood loss. The team also handles the post-operative care in a Neuro ICU. All these factors provided an excellent outcome to the patient.”

Dr Sodhi said Dharamjeet Kaur had fully recovered and is leading a normal life today.

Dr HS Sodhi holds an OPD at Parmar Hospital, Ropar, on every Friday from 9 AM to 1 PM. Dr BPS Parmar is a top player in the category of Laparoscopic Surgeons in Ropar. Dr RS Parmar is one of the most experienced and senior surgeons of Punjab.  Parmar Hospital is a super-specialty 50-bedded hospital in Ropar offering excellent patient care.
