Interventional cardiology practices from India have set a new record in the treatment of heart valve disease. Dr. Rajneesh Kapoor, who works as Vice-Chairman in the department of Interventional Cardiology at Gurugram-based Medanta The Medicity, performed Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement in an old age patient & gave a new lease of life to the patient.
"There were certain challenges that we were able to overcome with a focus on precision and the right treatment strategy. After the surgery, the patient was symptom-free and was discharged from the hospital in 3-4 days' time " says Dr. Rajneesh Kapoor.
"Transcatheter Mitral Valve replacement or TMVR is an intricate procedure that needs precision and execution with the utmost sensitivity. While the procedure is a complex one and must be performed by an experienced specialist the results are overwhelming," he added. There is no blood loss, no major cuts & return to routine activities is possible within a few days of treatment.

TMVR is advised for patients who need mitral valve replacement but are unfit to undergo cardiac surgery. It is a procedure that could be lifesaving in many patients. Mitral valve disease, if left untreated, can lead to heart failure and immediate death.
