First Twin Heart Surgery in India at Manipal Hospital EM Bypass

On Saturday, the Emergency Medicine Bypass Unit of Manipal Hospital performed the first dual-heart surgery on a twin pregnancy in India, a pioneering step in maternal cardiac care.

The operation involved intricate cardiopulmonary bypass and required meticulous planning by a multidisciplinary team of cardiologists, surgeons and anesthesiologists. Such procedures are extremely rare, due to the high risks for both mother and fetuses.

The successful outcome signifies a breakthrough for cardiac care in pregnancy and sets a benchmark for similar cases across the country. The team’s achievement may inspire future initiatives and training in high-risk obstetric cardiac surgery. Source: Google News – Manipal.
