A team of pulmonary specialists – Dr Visveswaran Balasubramanian, Dr Chetan Rao, Dr Pankti Seth, Dr Ramya Reddy – worked alongside transplant surgeons Dr K R Balasubramanian and Dr Manjunath Bale. They collected lungs from a brain-dead donor and successfully completed the transplant at Yashoda Hospitals-Hitec City.

Dr Visveswaran Balasubramanian said the operation was crucial to save Anurag’s life. The hospital highlighted the success as a milestone in treating paraquat poisoning. The transplant reflects advancements in pediatric lung care and organ donation initiatives, giving hope to patients with critical pulmonary conditions worldwide.
