India’s First HeartMate 3 LVAD Implantation

Army hospital (Research & Referral) has performed India's "first-ever" left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation using a cutting-edge device in Delhi.

The LVAD, often regarded as a ‘mechanical heart’, serves as a life-saving bridge for patients with end-stage heart failure, officials said.

The procedure was successfully performed at the Army Hospital (Research & Referral) at Delhi Cantonment on a 49-year-old woman, wife of an armed forces’ veteran who had been waiting for a heart transplant for over two years, the ministry said in a statement.

The Army Hospital (Research & Referral) has performed “India’s first-ever Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) implantation using the HeartMate 3 device in a government institution. This marks a historic first for the Armed Forces Medical Services too,” it said.
