A brilliant Pakistani cardiologist, Dr Jaffar Khan Hoti, recently won the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society’s highly acclaimed 2018 Young Investigators Award.
He conducted a set of surgeries on human beings using a procedure he had come up with. He used a procedure that is medically described as ‘laceration of the anterior mitral valve leaflet to prevent outflow track obstruction,’ nicknamed with the acronym “LAMPOON”.
“LAMPOON is a procedure I invented at the National Institutes of Health in America. It is a ‘keyhole’ cardiac surgery technique that resects heart tissue for the first time using minimally invasive techniques,” Dr Jaffar Hoti said, according to the report. “I am now the clinical lead for an FDA approved clinical trial together with Dr Robert Lederman, head of the cardiovascular intervention branch at NIH.”
He is a credit to Pakistan and we look forward to more advances in the field of cardiology from this young pakhtoon.
