Despite the difficulties & guarded outcome associated with such surgeries, the team cardiothoracic surgery at Metro Hospital, Faridabad decided to proceed with redo surgery.

The procedure went on well & patient recovered very well after this major surgical procedure.

He added, “I feel proud of my CT surgery team for undertaking the challenge & successfully accomplishing it.  It requires lot of expertise, good team of doctors, facilities in terms of ultra modern equipments, best equipped operation theaters & excellent team work.
