Manipal Hospital Achieves Milestone in Maternal Cardiac Care with Rare Twin Pregnancy Procedure

In a groundbreaking surgical achievement, doctors at Manipal Hospital performed a heart bypass on a pregnant woman carrying twins, marking the first such procedure in India.

Maternal cardiac conditions are a leading cause of pregnancy-related mortality in India, and twin pregnancies add complex hemodynamic challenges. The successful operation demonstrated the hospital’s advanced expertise in addressing high-risk cardiac cases during pregnancy.

This milestone underscores Udupi’s growing medical capabilities and offers a new treatment pathway for women with severe cardiac conditions. The success may prompt wider adoption of similar interventions across the country.
