NON-SURGICAL LEFT ATRIO FEMORAL BYPASS SUPPORT

A 58 YO patient was presented at Apollo Hospital, Chennai in Cardiogenic Shock Systolic (BP<50mmbg). His EF was 15% & it was a high-risk case for cardiac surgery. Dr Lal reviewed the case and decided to perform India’s Ist Aortic Valvuloplasty with Non-Surgical Left Atriofemoral Bypass Support,for which only 25-30 patients were subjected to this technique per year in the world. He performed this procedure with the help of a custom made roller pump, which was non-expensive and later the device helped in developing advanced Tandem Devices.
