Expertise in Advanced Heart Valve & Structural Heart Interventions

From TAVI and MitraClip to complex structural heart procedures, receive personalised evaluation and treatment planning based on your individual condition and clinical needs.

Who Is This Treatment For?

For patients with severe heart valve disease who may benefit from a less invasive alternative to traditional open-heart valve surgery.

This Treatment May be Considered If You:

  • Have severe aortic stenosis or another significant heart valve condition
  • Have been advised to undergo open-heart valve replacement surgery
  • Are considered at increased surgical risk due to age or other medical conditions
  • Have previously undergone bypass surgery or valve surgery
  • Are looking for a specialist opinion about your valve replacement options

Why Timely Treatment Matters

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.

Why Minimally Invasive Valve Treatment May Be Considered

No chest opening

The valve is treated through a catheter-based approach, avoiding the need for traditional chest opening in suitable patients.

An option for higher surgical risk

May be considered when conventional open-heart surgery carries increased risk due to age or other medical conditions.

Targeted valve treatment

The procedure focuses on treating the affected heart valve without the need for extensive cardiac surgery.

May avoid the heart-lung machine

In many minimally invasive procedures, cardiopulmonary bypass is not required.

Choosing the Right Valve & Structural Heart Treatment

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.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) / Replacement (TAVR)

For: Severe aortic stenosis and selected aortic valve conditions.

A catheter-based procedure to replace the narrowed aortic valve without conventional open-heart surgery.

MitraClip / Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER)

For: Selected patients with mitral regurgitation.

A minimally invasive procedure that reduces mitral valve leakage by bringing the valve leaflets together.

Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR)

For: Selected complex mitral valve conditions.

A catheter-based approach to replace the diseased mitral valve when conventional surgery may not be suitable.

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (LAAO)

For: Selected patients with atrial fibrillation and increased stroke risk.

A catheter-based procedure that closes the left atrial appendage to reduce the risk of blood clot formation.

Device Closure

For: Selected structural heart defects such as ASD, PFO, VSD, and PDA.

A catheter-based technique used to close specific abnormal openings within the heart.

Balloon Valvuloplasty

For: Selected patients with narrowed heart valves.

A catheter-based procedure that uses a balloon to widen the narrowed valve opening.

Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva (RSOV) Device Closure

For: Selected patients with ruptured sinus of Valsalva.

A catheter-based technique used to close the abnormal communication caused by an RSOV.

Tricuspid Valve Intervention

For: Selected patients with significant tricuspid regurgitation.

A minimally invasive approach designed to reduce tricuspid valve leakage in suitable patients.

Find the Right Valve & Structural Heart Treatment

Every heart valve condition is different. A specialist evaluation can help identify the most appropriate treatment based on your condition, anatomy and overall health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Suitability depends on the type and severity of valve disease, heart anatomy, age, medical history, and overall health. A detailed specialist evaluation is required to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

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.
