A 57-year-old patient from Nagaland, Mr. Akuminba, has made a successful recovery after undergoing high-risk open-heart surgery at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad. The patient was battling multiple critical conditions including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, chronic hypertension, severe renal dysfunction requiring dialysis, and Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), complicated by a failed angioplasty attempt elsewhere.
Upon arrival at Amrita Hospital in a critical state, a team led by Dr. Urmila Anandh and Dr. Sameer Bhate, Head of Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery, initiated urgent dialysis followed by a complex Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) procedure using three grafts. Mr. Akuminba’s heart function was severely impaired, with a Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction of just 30–35%.
Supported by a multidisciplinary team of anaesthetists, perfusionists, and ICU nurses, Mr. Akuminba’s recovery has been hailed as a significant medical success. Though his long-term outlook remains cautious, he is now stable and ambulatory. The success story has sparked renewed interest among families seeking advanced cardiac and renal care in metropolitan hospitals. Healthcare providers note increasing awareness and referrals from the region to super-speciality centres like Amrita Hospital. Mr. Akuminba expressed heartfelt gratitude: “The team gave me a second chance at life.”
