New Lease On Life At 49: Kiran Kumar's Journey To Recovery With A Complex Heart Transplant At BGS Gleneagles.
At 49, Kiran Kumar's daily walks felt like climbing mountains. Suffering from an extensive anterior wall myocardial infarction (MI) leading to relentless heart failure, his life was restricted and breathless. His turning point came in May 2023 when he visited BGS Gleneagles Hospital, experiencing chest pain and breathlessness.
Medical experts at the hospital identified severe damage to his left ventricle and pulmonary edema, complicating his condition further with diabetes, early chronic liver disease, and a blocked artery. Despite undergoing primary percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and receiving medications, Mr. Kiran's health critically deteriorated, as evidenced by a low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 15-20%.
In August, facing a rapidly declining quality of life, the option of a heart transplant was presented as a lifeline. Embracing this opportunity, Mr Kiran Kumar underwent the surgery on December 20, 2023. A skilled team, led by transplant surgeons Dr Balasubramani Govini, Dr Prem John, Dr Raghavendrra Chikatoor, alongside cardiac anesthesiologists Dr Sharanya Kumar and Dr Nandakumar, and cardiologists Dr Ravindranath Reddy and Dr PRLN Prasad, successfully conducted the six-hour operation. Within three hours, the donor heart revived, marking a milestone in Mr Kiran's recovery and medical history.
