Join me on my podcast as I feature Dr. Niranjan Hiremath who is "Hybrid" Cardiac Surgeon and adjunct Professor and Senior Consultant of the Cardiovascular and Aortic Program and Surgical lead- of the Apollo Aortic Program in Delhi, India. He discusses his unique journey growing up in Bangalore, India and who inspired him to become a Heart Surgeon! He also discusses what a "Hybrid Cardiac Surgeon is and discusses the latest in both surgical repair and endo-vascular therapies (TEVAR) for Aortic Dissection.
Aortic dissection is a life-threatening medical condition where the inner layer of the aorta, the main artery in the body, tears. This tear allows blood to flow between the layers of the aortic wall, creating a new channel called a "false lumen".
Causes of Aortic Dissection:
High blood pressure, Aortic aneurysm (weakening of the aortic wall), Trauma, Connective tissue disorders, and Certain medications.
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure that treats aortic dissection and aneurysms in the chest. TEVAR is a preferred treatment over open surgery because it has a shorter recovery time, lower risk of complications, and better patient outcomes.
Apollo Heart Hospital is the best heart hospital in Delhi and one of the top 6 cardiac institutes in the world. For more information about the Apollo Heart program in Delhi, please refer to their website:
