Patient Background

Mr. Netai Gopal Saha, a 55-year-old gentleman from Kolkata, had a history of anterior wall myocardial infarction and presented with ongoing cardiac concerns. Evaluations revealed moderately reduced heart function with an ejection fraction of 47%. Coronary angiography showed severe triple vessel coronary artery disease, with more than 90% stenosis in all major coronary arteries, putting him at high risk for recurrent ischemic events.

Treatment Planning

After a detailed discussion with the patient and his family regarding the nature of his condition, treatment options, and associated risks, CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting) was advised as the most effective intervention. The family placed complete trust in the surgical team, prioritizing advanced treatment and long-term cardiac health.

Surgical Procedure

Mr. Saha underwent successful CABG with multiple arterial grafts to achieve complete revascularization. The surgery was smooth and uneventful, and he was closely monitored in the postoperative period.

Key points of the procedure:

• Complete revascularization using arterial grafts

• Stable intraoperative and postoperative course

• Careful monitoring to ensure smooth recovery

Recovery and Outcome

Mr. Saha’s recovery was uneventful and steady. Within days, he was mobilized, regained confidence, and demonstrated improvement in cardiac function and overall well-being. He was subsequently discharged in good health, with a significantly improved quality of life.

Key Takeaways

• Timely surgical intervention is crucial in managing severe multi-vessel coronary artery disease.

• Complete revascularization with arterial grafts can significantly improve cardiac function.

• Patient and family trust in the surgical team ensures a smoother treatment journey.

• Advanced surgical techniques and dedicated perioperative care are essential for optimal outcomes.

Mr. Saha’s case highlights how effective planning, expert surgical care, and compassionate support can restore health and bring relief to patients and families dealing with complex cardiac conditions.
