The child was from old city’s Rainawari area in Srinagar

According to SKIMS PRO the girls was operated on  January 11 by team of surgeons led by Prof. G.N.Lone  who was assisted  by  Dr. Farooq Ahmad Ganie and others.

“She had a smooth surgical procedure which was completed in 90 minutes, when her native valve was badly diseased and underdeveloped, rendering it impossible to repair, therefore replaced by a prosthetic device,” spokesman said.

She has been discharged from hospital symptom free on February 2.

Heart Valve replacement is usually done in adults during 3rd to 5th decade of life.

“Especially in underdeveloped countries like India, Valvular heart surgery is usually done for Congenital heart defects including Valvular obstructions and leaks like Mitral Valve Stenosis / Regurgitation, Pulmonary Stenosis, Aortic Stenosis/ Regurgitation,” spokesperson said.

They said that acquired heart disease requiring valve replacement like Rheumatic heart disease is very rare in children and every attempt is made to repair the native and diseased heart valve irrespective of whether it is congenital or acquired disease, as the artificial device of the appropriate size is not available for children and the complications are many.

However, in centers where cardiac transplantation facilities are readily available, such replacements with human valves are well reported.

Director ,SKIMS, Prof. Umar Javed Shah congratulated Department of CVTS for doing such a landmark cardiac surgery  and said that these facilities benefit poor patients.
