THE Reddington Multi-specialist Hospital, Lagos has announced a successful complex heart surgery involving a Coronary Artery Bypass Graft and Mitral Valve
repair in a 66 year old man, Mr. Oluwatoyin Adebiyi. The surgery was performed by the new Tristate Reddington Cardiac programme led by Consultant Interventional Cardiologist Prof. Kamar Adeleke and Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon, Dr. Michael Sanusi.
At a media briefing in Lagos to announce this feat Dr. Lalude said the patient’s recovery was almost instant, as he started talking, eating and drinking less than 24 hours after the surgery. He said but for the Covid-19 pandemic, which has restricted air travel, the patient would have probably chosen to do the complex surgery abroad where he will spend thousands of dollars encouraging capital flight.
On how the surgical process went, Adeleke, who is a Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, said when the team first realised the patient’s heart rate was fast going low, it gave him a temporary pacemaker, which enabled him breathe normally and then embarked on the seven-hour repair of the patient’s leaking valves and other tissues, stressing that the 19 team members are experts from different areas.
