Geetanjali Hospital’s Cardiac Surgeon’s another milestone
Udaipur, Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is one of the most fatal surgical emergencies, with an overall mortality rate of 90%. But still a man of 75 years of age has survived all the odds fighting against his medical conditions by the efforts of a restless cardiac thoracic & vascular surgeon of Geetanjali Medical College & Hospital Dr. Sanjay Gandhi & his team members including Dr. Surendra Patel, Cardiac Anesthetists Dr. Ankur Gandhi, Dr. Manmohan Jindal, Dr. Kalpesh Mistri & Dr. Tasha Purohit. This has been claimed a first successful surgery of a ruptured aneurysm in whole medical history of Rajasthan.




Shankar, Age 75 years, was suffering from a prolonged disease of acidity. On a daily routine he experienced a tear in the anterior wall of the aneurysm resulting in sudden & severe abdominal pain and collapsing to which he was brought to hospital in emergency conditions. The resultant bleeding into the peritoneal cavity is so rapid that exsanguinations and death usually occur before the patient reaches the hospital. But the patient was fortune enough to reach Geetanjali Hospital where he was shifted for surgery without delay. The blood pressure of the patient was ranging in between from 60 to 70 with hemoglobin only 5 grams.
