Structural Heart Interventions in Kondapur

At CANES Cardio & Neuro Clinic, advanced catheter-based structural heart procedures are performed using modern imaging-guided interventional techniques.

TAVI / TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation)

TAVI or TAVR is performed for severe aortic valve stenosis in patients who may be high-risk candidates for surgical valve replacement.

During the procedure:

• A catheter is inserted usually through the femoral artery
• A collapsible artificial valve is guided to the diseased aortic valve
• The new valve is expanded within the old valve
• Blood flow improves immediately after valve deployment

Continuous fluoroscopy and echocardiography guidance help improve procedural precision and safety.

Most patients recover relatively quickly and can gradually resume walking within a short time after the procedure.

MitraClip / Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair

MitraClip is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat severe mitral valve leakage (mitral regurgitation).

During the procedure:

• Access is obtained through the femoral vein
• A catheter is advanced into the left side of the heart using transseptal techniques
• The MitraClip device is positioned on the mitral valve leaflets
• Valve leakage is reduced while preserving valve function

TEE (Transesophageal Echocardiography) guidance is used throughout the procedure for precise device positioning.

Many patients experience improvement in symptoms and quality of life after successful mitral valve repair.

Tricuspid Valve Repair / TRICLIP Procedures

Transcatheter tricuspid valve procedures are used in patients with severe tricuspid valve leakage who are high-risk surgical candidates.

Using catheter-based techniques, clip or valve devices are positioned on the tricuspid valve under advanced imaging guidance to reduce valve leakage and improve circulation.

These minimally invasive procedures help improve symptoms related to severe tricuspid regurgitation and right heart dysfunction.

TMVR (Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement)

TMVR is an advanced structural heart procedure used in selected patients with severe mitral valve disease or failed previous surgical valves.

A new valve is implanted using catheter-based techniques through carefully planned vascular access routes depending on patient anatomy and valve condition.

Advanced CT imaging and echocardiography are essential for safe and accurate valve positioning during TMVR procedures.

TPVR (Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement)

TPVR is mainly performed in selected congenital heart disease patients with diseased pulmonary valves or prior surgical conduits.

A new pulmonary valve is implanted through catheter-based techniques, helping avoid repeat open-heart surgery and improving long-term heart function.

LAA Closure (Left Atrial Appendage Closure)

LAA Closure is performed in patients with atrial fibrillation who are at high stroke risk and unable to tolerate long-term blood-thinning medications.

During the procedure:

• Access is obtained through the femoral vein
• A transseptal puncture technique is used
• A closure device is placed inside the left atrial appendage
• Stroke risk related to clot formation is reduced

Most patients recover quickly after the procedure with short hospital stay and close monitoring.
