Fortis Hospital performs rare combined surgeries

Fortis Hospital Shalimar Bagh in Delhi successfully performed rare combined liver transplantation and complex cardiac surgeries on two critically ill patients. One patient, a 46-year-old man from Uzbekistan, had severe blockages in all three major heart arteries, while the second patient, aged 41, suffered from critical narrowing of a heart valve. Both were also battling advanced liver failure. Surgeons performed a coronary artery bypass and a living-donor liver transplant on the first patient in the same session. For the second patient, open-heart surgery to replace the diseased heart valve was followed by a living-donor liver transplant the next day. These procedures are considered exceptionally high-risk and rare globally, highlighting the specialized multidisciplinary expertise at Fortis Hospital Shalimar Bagh. Both patients recovered steadily and were discharged in stable condition within three weeks.
