Kumud dhital, Nepalese specialist

Mahender, a 25-year-old software engineer from Hyderabad had been suffering from Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) since 2011. In 2018, when he travelled to the United States, he had repeat blood clot formation in his leg, which unfortunately spread to the lungs in the form of pulmonary embolism.He came back to India to seek further treatment and met a local doctor who referred him to Yashoda Hospitals Hyderabad, since his condition was worsening and critical with shortness of breath on minimal exertion. His surgeon, Dr Kumud Kumar Dhital informed him that the DVT had repeatedly progressed to the lungs, and Mahindra had developed the disease called Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH)."The patient is suffering from a disease called Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH), a condition that causes repeated blood clots inside the lung arteries, whereby the blood pressure in the lung arteries becomes so high that the patient becomes symptomatic and progresses to heart failure. The only curative option for this disease is Pulmonary Endarterectomy surgery which requires the patient to be put on a Heart and Lung machine to cool down the body temperature to 20 degrees centigrade, with periods of time when there is no circulation in the body including the brain. The circulation is restarted after the procedure on both sides of the lung arteries to remove the clots which are similar to scar tissue. Then, we rewarm the patient, and this procedure takes pretty much the entire day. The patient is doing well now," said Dr Kumud Kumar Dhital Sr Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon, Program and Surgical Director for Heart & Lung Transplantation and MCS, Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, describing the surgery.Speaking about the illness and the surgical procedure, Mahender said, "The doctors from Yashoda Hospitals gave me hope and that I can recover in 1-2 months after the surgery. And now, just 1 week after the successful operation, I am able to walk properly and am given guidance with regular post-operative care."Another patient, Tripti Agarwal, 33yr old female, resident of New Delhi and mother of a daughter, was diagnosed with CTEPH in 2017. She presented with a case of worsening exertional breathlessness, which was medically managed, but with significant deterioration over the preceding 6 months. Further investigations showed chronic blockage of blood flow to the left lung with additional disease on the right side. She was referred to Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad by her physician in Delhi and underwent a Pulmonary Endarterectomy surgery on the 11th January 2021. Dr. Kumud Dhital commented on her progress, "She has made an excellent recovery with significant increase in her exercise capacity. She remains under follow-up and will need to remain on anticoagulation therapy."Her 7-year-old daughter Manya Mittal, was overwhelmed and thanked the doctor for his efforts, she mentioned "Thank you so much for helping my mother to recover from her disease and helping us through this hard time. I am very happy that now she is fine and is with us.
