Harpyari, a resident of Mendu, Hathras, experienced chest pain and breathing difficulty during exertion. She consulted several doctors before reaching the Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College (JNMC) of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), where she was advised immediate surgery after the diagnosis showed a rare tumor pressing her heart on the left-side chambers.

Harpyari underwent the surgery with a 30-minute stoppage of heartbeats while a cardiopulmonary bypass machine kept her alive, said Dr Mohd Azam Haseen, Chairman, Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, who performed the surgery with a team comprising of Dr Sumit Pratap Singh and Dr M Ghazanfar.

"The tumor was removed successfully and the patient's heart was reconstructed," said Dr Sumit Singh adding that Harpyari has been discharged and asked to meet the doctors for follow up.

"We knew from the planning and diagnosis stage that the life-threatening tumour could significantly reduce blood flow through the heart," said Haseen and his team members.
