Imphal, December 02 2016:
Imphal Heart Institute (IHI), Sagolband Moirang Leirak Machin has opened a new chapter in the medical history of the State by successfully performing heart valve replacement surgery for the first time in Manipur.
Speaking to some media persons at the hospital today, IHI Director and Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeon Dr Athouba Arambam claimed that IHI has also performed other landmark cardiac surgery for 'LIMA RIMA Y CABG beating heart' which is said to be the highest form of treatment for a heart attack patient.
IHI has performed ASD (hole in heart closure), conventional CABG and midline pericardectomy surgeries too.
The hardship and sufferings faced by parents of babies who have congenital heart disease in getting cardiac surgical treatment outside the State is heart rendering and a group of medical professionals felt the need for an advanced cardiac care hospital.
Driven by this vision to provide high quality yet affordable cardiac care in the State, the group got together to establish Imphal Heart Institute, Dr Athouba said.
He went on to claim that IHI has state of the art facilities like modular OT and experienced team of doctors and support staff.
