Ebrahim Abbasi Patient of Dr. Sandeep Attawar Travels all the way from Iran for Management of His Complex Heart Condition

“My name is Ebrahim Abbasi from Iran; I'm writing this just a week after I had successful surgery to repair the mitral valve in my heart with Dr. Sandeep Attawar best cardiac surgeon In India. When I was in my 30s, I was diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and at that time the doctor said nothing needed to be done. This is a genetic condition that I have since learned that my father also had.

Patient review for Dr. Sandeep Attawar

Recently, I had my annual appointment with my Cardiologist. I expected to get a status quo report that I would still require surgery on my mitral valve in about five to seven years. My wife and I received a shock at the appointment. He proceeded to say that my regurgitation and leakage from my mitral valve had become severe, causing my heart to enlarge. He recommended heart surgery within the next year. He made an appointment for us to talk with a cardiac surgeon in Iran. We met with the cardiac surgeon in Iran and we discussed my options: repair vs. replacement of the mitral valve. Due to my current age of 54 and my other health issues, it was extremely important to me that the valve be repaired and not replaced. Another option would be to replace the mitral valve with a valve from an animal, and that would mean I would be facing another surgery in about 10 to 15 years.  But the cost for the surgery was far too high due to poor medical conditions of Iran.

When it came to my heart, I didn’t want to gamble on my life every day I woke up, especially when there was something I could do about it. In the meantime, I started to do some research on the internet and found there were about five surgeons in India that completed more than 200 of these mitral valve repairs a year with a repair rate of approximately 95 percent. Dr. Sandeep Attawar best cardiovascular surgeon in India had a video on the internet and stated "there is no better valve than the one God gave you, and at the end of the video he said "Repair, repair, repair." After watching the video I made more intense search of him and found him to be the best cardiac surgeon at Global Hospital Hyderabad and has participated in over 9000 open and closed heart surgeries, and lung and heart transplantation in adults. He is considered as the best cardiovascular surgeon at Global Hospital in Chennai, his area of interest lies in the field of cardiac failure, MCS including VAS implantation and the total artificial heart. He has treated several patients suffering from cardiac diseases by providing best of medical care. I immediately called Dr. Sandeep Attawar’s office at- +91-9370586696 and then forwarded all of my test results to them on his email address- drsandeepattawar@indiacardiacsurgerysite.com for review. He confirmed that I needed to have my mitral valve operated on but could not make a determination if it was possible to repair it until they got a copy of the CDs from my Echo and TEE.

At this time I decided to schedule an Appointment Dr. Sandeep Attawar top cardiologist India to have surgery and proceeded to make my airline reservations for my wife and me to fly to India. Since owe had heard a lot about India, having the surgery done in India was an attractive alternative to. About four days after Dr. Sandeep Attawar received the CDs from my Echos and the day before my flight to India, He concluded that I had "classic mitral valve prolapse" with a 95 to 98 percent chance he would be able to repair the valve. Hearing this news made it became obvious that I made the right decision.

We finally landed India and booked same day had Appointment with Dr. Sandeep Attawar Global Hospital Chennai. He went over the procedure and what would happen. He informed me that there was a greater risk for me to not have the surgery than to have it. He also did not minimize the procedure and informed us of all possible outcomes. He successfully repaired the mitral valve. I spent 24 hours following surgery in the cardiac surgery intensive care unit (CSICU). My nurses at Global Hospital Chennai were absolutely excellent, and I could not have asked for better care. On Saturday, 24 hours after my surgery, I walked from the CSICU to the step down unit in the hospital. I was in the step down unit for four days, at which time I was released from the hospital. Prior to my release, they did an Echo and concluded that there was no Mitral Valve regurgitation. I couldn't have asked for better news. The nurses and entire staff in the step down unit at the Global Hospital Chennai were wonderful. Last, I would like to profoundly thank Dr. Sandeep Attawar and his entire staff. They answered all of my numerous questions and explained the procedure in detail. They were professional and caring and I could not have asked for a better team behind me for my surgery.”
