Bengaluru: A 30-year-old Iraqi microbiologist who lives with a tumor for the size of a tennis ball in the heart, flying to Bengaluru for medical assistance and is operated at this time.
Noor Hussain who lives with life-threatening conditions for more than a decade, traveling in the middle of the covid sidewalk.
But the hassle is worth it, because the tumor was successfully removed.
The big tumor in the room of the heart rarely happened, said Dr.
Ashwini Kumar Pasarad, head of the heart surgery, Sagar Hospitals, who operated in the woman.
Surgery of six hours was carried out on January 17, a week after Hussain landed in Bengaluru.
Tumors weigh more than 200 grams – almost 80% of the normal heart (250-300 grams), said Dr.
Pasarad.
Hussain was sent home on Tuesday.
He had traveled to Bengaluru with his father and a friend, a pharmacist who had studied in Bengaluru.
In addition to ordinary difficulties, the operation was also challenging because there was no clear demarcation between tumors and heart muscle.
Some of the liver must be reconstructed during the procedure, said Dr.
Pasarad.
“If the tumor is not removed, Hussain will experience a congestive heart failure, where the heart cannot pump the normal amount of blood and jam.
He will also suffer from sudden heart death due to irregular heart rhythms,” said Dr.
Pasarad.
Hussain said that the successful operation was the second shot in life, because he almost gave up hope.
The cause of the tumor is said to be congenital (growing from birth) or because of the possibility of radiation exposure, Dr.
Pasarad.
Mohammed Yusuf, a pharmacist who accompanied Hussain to Bengaluru, said the tumor was detected in 2011 and was said to be tame.
In 2020, almost 10 years later, Hussain suffered shortness of breath during the pandemic initiative phase, but he was tested negatively for Covid-19.
Because he continues to have chest pain, palpitations and shortness of breath, heart evaluation is done, where changes in the ECG report are found.
“He visited many hospitals.
In Turkey he was told that operation was risky and could not be operated.
The family then decided to seek help in Bengaluru,” Yusuf said.
He said that the Indian Embassy in Iraq was very helpful and visas were processed in two days.
The woman suffered from acute chest pain even at rest.
He also suffered a synchelapal attack, or suddenly, but lost temporary awareness.
Dr.
Pasarad said the heart tumor was very rare and the primary tumor of the heart was still rare.
“Many cancer patients who have tumors in the lungs or intestines have a secondary tumor in the heart,” Dr.
Pasarad.
“Also, because of the lack of literature, the care plan is difficult.” He said the tumor covered the left side of the heart.
“It starts from the endothelium or layer in the blood vessels in the heart.
This is called hemangioma [abnormal growth of endothelial cells in the blood vessels].
If it is not deleted, it might become fierce.
The tumor covers the tip or peak that contributes to pumping blood.
It also covers The heart-free wall, which is attached to the capillary muscle.
“The doctors said this case would be reported to the international index journal.
