Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), also called Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), replaces a narrowed aortic valve through a catheter — usually via the femoral artery — rather than through open-heart surgery. It's typically used for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at intermediate to high surgical risk, and it's associated with shorter hospital stays and faster recovery than conventional valve surgery.
Outcomes depend heavily on the operator and center's experience with the procedure, so individual case volume and track record matter as much as the hospital's reputation.
Dr. Kapoor has practiced interventional cardiology for over 25 years, with a focus on TAVR/TAVI, TMVR, and MitraClip procedures for complex structural heart disease.

There's no independent, centrally audited ranking of TAVI specialists in India — volume and outcome figures usually come from the hospital or physician's own reporting. When evaluating a specialist, it's reasonable to ask directly about their personal (not just institutional) case volume, complication rates, and how outcomes are tracked, and to get a second opinion for a procedure of this weight.
