Introduction

William Henry Thompson, a Canadian citizen who is 72 years old, has suffered an abnormality of the heart known as an Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair (EVAR). Abdominal aortic aneurysms can be treated using endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), a minimally invasive technique. The major artery connecting the heart to the rest of the body is the aorta. Small punctures and high-tech tools are used in EVAR to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms to mend blood vessel bulges known as aneurysms. The patient had a history of multiple episodes of syncope and melena for the last month.

After exploring several approaches, the patient and his family were able to speak with MediGence specialists who reassured them and gave them the necessary support. After receiving several offers, they ultimately decided to receive Dr. Tarun Grover’s care at Medanta Hospital in Gurugram, India. They left on 22 May 2022, for this trip, and they remained in Medanta Hospital for 5 days. Mr. William Henry Thompson came to this country with his wife, who served as his support system throughout the duration of his therapy.

The National Board of Examinations, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, has conferred the title of “first fellow in vascular and Endovascular surgery” on Dr. Grover. He has about 16 years of experience as a vascular and endovascular specialist and an authority in vascular ultrasound duplex imaging. In the past 20 years, he has had a tremendous amount of training and teaching experience, including fellowships at St. Mary’s Hospital in London, UK (Intervascular), Regional Vascular Center in Cologne, Germany, The Ethicon, Cordis Endovascular Fellowship, and others.

The Medanta Heart Institute is home to the subspecialties of Cardiac Surgery, Electrophysiology and Pacing, Clinical and Preventive Cardiology, and Interventional Cardiology. Here, a team of skilled, committed, and experienced heart surgeons, cardiologists, and radiologists collaborate to offer patients suffering from a range of heart conditions comprehensive, multidisciplinary care. The ‘Heart Team’ strategy makes sure that the patient benefits from thorough guidance that meets high technical and moral standards. The group of scientists, medical professionals, and committed nurses is outfitted with the newest tools, including a cutting-edge hybrid operating room, robotic heart surgery, and minimally invasive procedures to increase precision and accuracy. The hospital has been accredited by NABH and NABL.

Pre-Treatment and Surgical Procedure

After being admitted to the hospital, the patient was informed of the necessary testing, the risks and complications, the timing for the procedure, the length of time the patient would need to stay there, and the precautions to take after the treatment as well as the required follow-up care and consultations.

The patient was given anesthesia to induce sleep or relaxation. The doctor approached the abdominal aortic aneurysm in the abdomen through the femoral arteries, which are located close to the groin. The doctor placed a low-profile, inflatable stent graft within a catheter, a narrow tube. To get to the aneurysm, the catheter was directed via the arteries. The doctor opened the stent graft when the catheter reached the aneurysm, allowing it to expand and create a new, secure conduit for the blood to flow. The wireframe of the graft creates a tight seal that maintains it in place and keeps blood from leaking into the aneurysm. It is taken out after the treatment is over. Stitches were not required as the punches were small.

Post Treatment

Mr. William Henry Thompson underwent a two-week rehabilitation period after being hospitalized for 5 days for observation. The patient’s companion and MediGence assisted them in planning the subsequent consultation at this time. His lodging options and other arrangements, such as the hospital transfer, hospital visit, and airport pickup, were assisted by the organization. With a net shorter hospital stay, a quicker recovery, and a prompt return to daily activities, the patient recovered quickly from this process. It produced more effective physical outcomes and less post-operative pain where the incision was made.
