The majority of atrial septostomies are performed on infants with d-TGA or other cyanotic heart defects. In these cases, a balloon catheter is guided through a large vein into the right atrium, during cardiac catheterization. The catheter is threaded into the foramen ovale, a naturally existing hole between the atria that normally closes shortly after birth. The balloon at the end of the catheter is inflated so as to enlarge the foramen ovale enough that it will no longer become sealed. This allows more oxygenated blood to enter the right heart (especially in the case of d-TGA) where it can be pumped to the rest of the body. The balloon is deflated and the catheter is removed.
I had my heart surgery (CABG) at Fortis Escorts hospital. I researched a lot before selecting the hospital and found it suitable to my needs as well as budget. The medical team was superb. They were very efficient in their work and I am satisfied with the hospital’s service.
Fortis Escorts is nice facility. We came here for my son’s heart valve repair procedure. I chose this hospital as it is known for its cardiology care. The clinical services were good and up to the mark. We were also pleased with the post-op care their team provided. The staff was friendly and cooperative throughout.
I had penile implant surgery at Fortis Escorts, under Dr. Ashish Sabharwal’s care. He is one of the best doctors and so talented! His experience and skills are competitive to the doctors here in America. Although, the hospital does not have very high standard of facilities, like some other hospitals in Delhi, I chose to have my surgery with Dr. Ashish. I am happy with the results.
The hospital is very moderate in terms of technology and whole set-up. The room I was transferred to after the surgery was also not good and as per standard.
Medical care was very good for my wife at Fortis hospital. Doctors and nurses were very nice . We came all the way from Nigeria for blood cancer treatment in this hospital.
I was welcomed with friendly staff and they were very helpful. The wait was over 1 hour, but three days after the surgery I am feeling much better.
Everyone was polite, helpful and did their best. Dr. Ashish Sabharwal did a fantastic job. I came in so sick and I leave as a healthy man today. The meals provided were of great quality
