What cardiologists are saying a big step further for congenital heart disease management in India, four patients performed transcatator Pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) procedures on 3 July on 3 July without the need of open heart surgery. TPVR is a minimum invasive technique that replaces a damaged heart valve using a thin, flexible tube (catheter) inserted through a blood vessel, which surgically avoids the need to open the chest.

Patients, all of whom, performed surgery during childhood for Tetralji of Fallot (TOF), returned to a birth -related heart -related heart condition that affects normal blood flow through the heart, with complications from a leaked pulmonary valve after years. Such leakage is a known long -term result of initial repair. Traditionally, such cases will require another round of open-horses surgery, which comes with significant risks and extended recovery.

Instead, the cardiology team carried out the TPVR procedures using the harmony valve system, a new generation valve made of biological tissue and mounted on a metal frame. As a result of this treatment, four patients: a 37-year-old from Delhi, a 17-year-old from Noida, 14-year-old from Gurgaon, and 15-year-old from Noida, each was discharged within 48 hours of the procedure, a significant reduction in a normal 10–12-day hospital.

“Globally, about 40% of the patients who undergo childhood repair for the tetralogies of the fall will require a pulmonary valve replacement within three decades.” Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, Head and Professor, Pediatric Cardiology and Adult congenital heart disease, “In India, the vast majority of these recreation are still managed through traditional surgery. Transcatator Pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) is a less invasive, rapidly a lowly, rapidly, which stops in India, which is a lowly invasive, a low -aggressor, which is the fact that the fact is there Most clinical protocols still prefer surgical options.

Dr. Sushil Azad, Deputy Head and Principal Consultant, Pediatric Cardiology said, “The TVPR process is particularly valuable for many open-horses processes or high surgical risks patients. In a country like India, where estimated 200,000 children are born with congenital heart disease every year and can work on time to complete the conjunctions and timely people can work for people to complete and over time. Durable remedies that currently encounter delays or repeated high -risk surgery.

Dr. Ankit Garg, a multidisciplinary team of 5 interventional and pediatric cardiologists including Ankit Garg, traditional cardiology; Dr. Savita Krishnamurthy Guinea, Assistant Professor, Pediatric Cardiology; And Dr. Sasikpur Dubbar Yadav, Assistant Professor, Pediatric Cardiology were involved in successful processes, each with about 60 to 90 minutes.

Amrita Hospital is currently the only center in India that is free to implant harmony valves without international supervision.

Amrita Hospitals is a major multi-specific healthcare institution committed to provide world class medical care with compassion and innovation. Under the visionary guidance of Sri Mata Amritanandamayati Devi (Amma) in 1998, Amrita Hospital works with the main darshan that healthcare should be accessible to all regardless of socio-economic background.
