For patients with severe heart valve disease who may benefit from a less invasive alternative to traditional open-heart valve surgery.
Severe valve disease can gradually worsen, sometimes without obvious symptoms. Early evaluation and timely treatment can help identify the most appropriate treatment option and avoid delays in care.
The valve is treated through a catheter-based approach, avoiding the need for traditional chest opening in suitable patients.
May be considered when conventional open-heart surgery carries increased risk due to age or other medical conditions.
The procedure focuses on treating the affected heart valve without the need for extensive cardiac surgery.
In many minimally invasive procedures, cardiopulmonary bypass is not required.
Heart valve and structural heart conditions require individual assessment. The appropriate treatment depends on the valve involved, disease severity, anatomy, heart function, and overall health.
Specialised heart valve treatment requires advanced expertise, careful evaluation, and a personalised approach. Dr. Vaibhav Jayesh Bhastana specialises in TAVI, MitraClip, and structural heart interventions, providing comprehensive assessment and minimally invasive treatment options for complex valve conditions.

These procedures may be considered for selected elderly patients, particularly when conventional open-heart surgery may carry increased surgical risk. Individual assessment is essential before recommending treatment.
Recovery varies depending on the procedure and the patient’s overall health. Many patients can begin mobilisation within a short period and may be discharged within a few days when recovery is uncomplicated.
The need for future surgery depends on the underlying valve condition, the procedure performed, and long-term valve function. Your specialist will discuss the expected treatment pathway and follow-up requirements during evaluation.
Suitability is assessed through a combination of clinical evaluation, echocardiography, CT imaging, medical history, and other relevant investigations. In appropriate cases, the findings are reviewed as part of a multidisciplinary heart team assessment.
Yes. Advanced catheter-based valve and structural heart procedures are available at specialised cardiac centres in Mumbai, where appropriately selected patients can undergo evaluation and treatment by experienced specialist teams.
Yes. Tests such as echocardiography, CT scans, ECG, blood investigations, and other assessments may be required depending on your condition. These investigations help evaluate valve anatomy, disease severity, heart function, and treatment suitability.
Yes. Previous echocardiograms, CT scans, angiography reports, discharge summaries, and other relevant medical records can help the specialist understand your medical history and plan the next steps in your evaluation.
Yes. In addition to advanced valve interventions, structural heart procedures may include Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (LAAO) and catheter-based device closure for selected congenital heart defects. Treatment is recommended based on individual clinical and anatomical assessment.
Bring your previous echocardiography or CT reports, angiography records, discharge summaries, current medication list, and any relevant medical history. Having these details available can help the specialist assess your condition and discuss appropriate treatment options.
