MANGALORE, FEB. 7. A team of interventional Cardiologists, led by Yusuf Kumble and Narayan Bhat, performed a cardiac interventional procedure (without surgery) at the KMC Heart Centre here to cure a cardiac disease in a one-and-half-year-old child, according to a press release from the chief operating officer of KMC Hospitals, D.P. Saraswath. Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is one of the commonest heart diseases prevalent in children which is conventionally closed by open heart surgery. According to the doctors, this is a case where a new method — percutaneous closure (device closure without open heart surgery) was adopted to correct the defect. The hole in the heart was cured without surgery.
