Nagpur Cardiologists Perform Trio of TAVR Procedures
Imagine your heart has a faulty door (valve) that needs fixing.
Instead of a big surgery, doctors can now use a clever method called TAVR.
They put a new door in place through a small tube, while you're awake!
This is great for people who can't handle a big operation.
In Nagpur, India, doctors did three of these procedures in a single day, showing they're getting really good at it.
Patients often go home the next day, much faster than before.
The doctors hope more people will learn about this and make it easier and cheaper for everyone.
They even think that computers might help with this in the future, making it even better!
Three TAVR procedures were performed in a single day in Nagpur.
TAVR is a minimally invasive technique for aortic valve replacement.
Patients typically resume basic activity within hours of the procedure.
The procedures were performed at Arneja Heart Hospital.
The accomplishment signifies the growing adoption of TAVR in Tier-2 cities.
