Heart Bypass Surgery in India for a Patient From the Democratic Republic of Congo

Patient Testimonial

Clinical Context

The patient was diagnosed with ischaemic heart disease with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction and mild left ventricular hypertrophy. Local evaluation confirmed the need for revascularisation. Advanced minimally invasive cardiac surgery options were not available locally.

Care Pathway

The case was reviewed by leading Indian cardiac surgeons. Cardiac findings supported surgical revascularisation using a minimally invasive approach. A consensus recommendation was reached for robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass surgery. A multidisciplinary video consultation aligned treatment planning with the patient, family, and Jivo Doctor Partner.

Treatment

Further evaluation in India, including coronary angiography, confirmed disease anatomy suitable for robotic-assisted bypass. Robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass surgery was performed.

Outcome and Continuity

Post-operative outcomes included resolution of cardiac symptoms and return to active daily function. Follow-up care continues in the home country under Jivo Doctor Partner supervision. A six-month review confirmed sustained clinical stability.
