Dr Moulick, presented case studies on “High risk cardiac cases”. Elaborating on the high risk cases, Dr Moulick, said a high risk cardiac surgery was one where there are additional risk factors other than those for the routine procedure that could modify the surgical outcome, such as cases of Redo CABG. “According to the available international figures it is estimated that in cases of CABG associated with acute cardiogenic shock the mortality rates in the top US hospitals would be in the vicinity of 9-10 per cent, while at Fortis we have managed to keep it less than three per cent,” disclosed Dr Moulick. Dr R.V. Karanjekar, Medical Director, Fortis also spoke. |
