Initially nervous and anxious about everything, William went back with a huge gratification.

 

William Singh, Fiji, CABG, Apollo hospital, New Delhi

Patient name: William Singh

Age: 57 years old

Gender: Male

Country of Origin: Suva, Fiji

Doctor’s Name: Dr. Amit Mittal

Hospital’s Name: Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi

Treatment: Aortic valve replacement

Cholesterol deposition plays a significant role in the progression of aortic valve disease, particularly in conditions that eventually necessitate aortic valve replacement (AVR). The connection lies in how cholesterol impacts the aortic valve’s structure and function over time.

William Singh from Fiji had been suffering from cardiac issues for almost a year. His problem started with elevated levels of LDL (bad cholesterol), which was attributed to his regular intake of seafood. This was because he used to eat a lot of seafood, which led to the deposition of cholesterol along the blood vessels. 

His angiography reports, done in Fiji, revealed that William had a 95 % blockage in his Right Coronary Artery and also had severe Triple Vessel Disease(TVD ). He was advised to have Aortic valve replacement along with the Cardiac Bypass Surgery.

He was looking for surgery in India during which he came to know about Vaidam Health on the internet. He posted a query on our website, after which our case manager contacted him and asked for his reports. He received opinions from the best heart surgery hospitals in India. 

After proper planning, William decided to visit India on 6th December 2018. He was received by one of our team members from the airport and taken to the hotel. 

We had fixed his appointment with Dr. Amit Mittal, a well-known interventional cardiologist with 15 years of experience. During the appointment, Dr. Mittal took a detailed case history and the patient was sent for further examinations. 

The doctor, then, confirmed that the patient would need an aortic valve replacement in which both his valves would be repaired along with the CABG surgery would also be required.

Soon, the surgery was performed successfully. He stayed at the hospital for around 10 days with his two daughters. Post-discharge, he had a detailed follow-up session where he was suggested some lifestyle changes that he would need to make.

We wish William a speedy recovery and a long and healthy life ahead!
