CHENNAI (Web Desk) – In a medical breakthrough, Indian doctors successfully implanted a valve made from a cow’s heart inside a leaking heart valve of an 81-year-old woman.
The surgery, which lasted over a period of three hours, was performed by a four-member team at the Frontier Lifeline Hospitals in Chennai, reported Zee News.
After carefully examining her condition, doctors at Frontier Lifeline Hospital performed the surgery when it removed the diseased valve and replaced it with a new bioprosthetic heart valve.
The procedure was not easy as the elderly woman had also undergone treatment for breast cancer a few years ago.
