In another milestone for the Alchemist Hospital,sector 21 Panchkula, the Cardiac Team did the first successful Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). The procedure was performed by Dr. Rohit Parti, Associate Director Department of Cardiology, along with Dr. Sudhanshu Budakoty, Consultant Department of Cardiology, at Alchemist Hospital, Panchkula under the able guidance of Dr Rajat Datta,Director Department of Cardiology.
TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure to replace an aortic valve that is narrowed and doesn’t open fully.The aortic valve is between the left lower heart chamber and the body’s main artery.Narrowing of the aortic valve is called aortic valve stenosis.The valve problem blocks or slows blood flow from the heart to the body.
Usually valve replacement require an open-heart procedure with a “sternotomy”,in which the chest is surgically separated(opened) for the procedure.The TAVR or TAVI procedure can be done through very small openings that leaves all the chest bones in place.It amy be an option for people who cannot have heart surgery to replace aortic valve due to eldely age,other comorbid conditions. A patient’s experience with a TAVR procedure may be similar to coronary angiogram in terms of recovery.
Individuals facing aortic stenosis are encouraged to engage in a comprehensive discussion with healthcare professionals to receive personalized advice tailored to their specific situation.
