Transforming The Treatment Paradigm
                     treatment of heart disease
TRANSFORMING THE
TREATMENT
PARADIGM
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
TAVR
Beyond angioplasty (the revolutionary
non-surgical method to treat heart
blockages), one of the biggest non-
surgical technological innovations has
happened in the area of valve
replacement.
TRANSCATHETER MITRAL
VALVE REPAIR
Mitra-Clip mitral valve repair without open heart
surgery is one of the innovative scientific
advancements of recent times. In another first in
India in 2018, we for the first time in India
successfully performed the catheter based
procedure of MitraClip to repair a leaking heart
valve without surgery
IMPELLAHEART PUMP
This device can be inserted into the heart
cavity to pump out blood from left ventricle
to rest of the body and functions on a small
motor. It supports patient with blocked
arteries. This miniaturised submersible
water pump like device is very fascinating.
THE WAY FORWARDS
The foremost priority should be to make
these lifesaving advancements in science
and technology available and affordable to
the common man. This can be made
possible through ‘made in India’ initiative,
which is very much the case now.
TAVR TECHNIQUES
Makes a small incision in the femoral artery in the
groinInjects contrast dye and uses X-rays to
monitor the procedureInserts a thin tube called a
catheter in the artery and threads it toward your
aortic valvePlaces a catheter-based pacemaker
on the right side of your heart to control your
heart rateGuides the new valve into place inside
the old one.
