Her skin eventually turned yellow with severe pain shooting down the left shoulder to her arm. Later, she developed swelling in her limbs and abdomen. &#8220;I would feel nauseous at the mention of food; I could barely eat and often throw up soon after. No doctor wanted to take the risk of operating on me, at best, a stent was put inside my liver to drain the fluid out,&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/Bnar-Satar-Mala\">Bnar Satar Mala<\/a> said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dr Vivek Vij, Director, Liver Transplant at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/Fortis-Memorial-Research-Institute\">Fortis Memorial Research Institute<\/a> said that, \u201cDoctors in Iran diagnosed her with a rare\u00a0disorder called Budd Chiari Syndrome- a condition where blood clots completely or partially block the blood flow to the liver in an individual. Due to the blockage in the hepatic vein, which obstructed the outflow, her liver was gradually &#8220;dying. Her liver was completely black and shrunken, requiring urgent transplant in order to save her life. Her IVC was completely blocked and she required a lot of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/blood-transfusion\">blood transfusion<\/a>\u00a0during the surgery. The affected liver was removed and a part of the liver was taken from her brother and transplanted in the patient. In this case, the challenge was to suture the liver &#8220;directly&#8221; to the heart as the patient&#8217;s native IVC was completely blockedAlso, being a woman, her concern was the scar such an opening would have left on her chest. The hepatic vein was sutured directly to the heart through this novel technique and the team made sure that they did all this avoiding sternotomy (cutting open the chest to reach the heart)\u201d. FMRI has pioneered several complex surgeries in the past. This case was almost a lost cause when the patient reached us, however we gave it our best and were successful in our endeavour to save her life. Our efforts are proof of our need to provide quality health care services and medical aid to anyone across the globe that requires it,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0Dr. Simmardeep Singh Gill, Zonal Director, Fortis Memorial Research Institute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Brother Donates Part of Liver Bathinda, February 17 (Punjab Post Bureau) &#8211; A 21-year-old Iraqi woman received another chance to live a full and happy life in district.
