In West Bengal, Manipal Hospital Dhakuria successfully treated a 41-year-old with severe aortic stenosis, a bicuspid valve, and a ventricular septal defect, complicated by extreme anxiety and a narrow airway. Using awake nasal intubation, the team safely performed heart surgery, replacing the valve and closing the heart defect. The patient recovered smoothly and was discharged on day four.
