Hyderabad: Surgeons at Kamineni Hospitals, LB Nagar, on Friday said they have successfully conducted a complex heart surgery on a 42-year-old patient Sanjay Kumar, hailing from Maharashtra.

The patient’s abdominal aorta, which is the largest blood vessel in the human body and runs from the heart through the centre of the chest and abdomen to the legs, was ruptured and a stent needed to be inserted. A ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm can result in bleeding and death of the patient, doctors said.
