TAVR - The cardiac surgeons at KD Hospital, Ahmedabad have great expertise and experience with Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) which is a non-surgical & minimally invasive technique of replacing the Aortic Valve in the Heart.
What is an Aortic Valve?
The Human heart has four valves, namely Tricuspid Valve, Pulmonary Valve, Mitral Valve and Aortic Valve. The blood moves through each one of them in sequence. The aortic valve is the last. Blood is pumped through that valve and out to the rest of your body. A TAVR procedure replaces the valve without requiring major surgery. One of the most common reasons to undergo TAVR is if you have aortic stenosis.
What is Aortic Stenosis?
Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the opening of the aortic valve. As a consequence of aortic stenosis, blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta is restricted and the left atrium's pressure may be affected.
Advantages of TAVR
KD Hospital’s expert Heart Specialists in Ahmedabad have treated several complex cases by implementing Non-Invasive techniques such as TAVR and saved lives with successful surgeries.
Angioplasty - Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, also known as simply Angioplasty, is a type of surgical treatment that reopens a blocked coronary artery to facilitate blood flow. It includes percutaneous (through the skin) coronary intervention (PCI). KD Hospital’s expert Cardiologist in Ahmedabad is very well known to carry out this procedure with excellent prognosis giving a new lease of life to Heart patients.
An Angioplasty is a procedure that uses a tiny balloon catheter to widen a blocked blood vessel and improve blood flow to the heart. Angioplasty often involves the placement of a small wire mesh tube called a stent. By propping the artery open, the stent decreases its chance of narrowing again.
What is Primary Angioplasty?
Angioplasty performed on patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) is known as primary angioplasty. Primary angioplasty is an alternative to thrombolysis, clot-dissolving drug therapy, for patients with acute MI associated with ST-segment elevation (STEMI), a change recorded with an electrocardiogram (ECG) during chest pain.
What is MI (Myocardial Infarction)?
MI is an acute coronary syndrome caused by the blockage of 1 or more coronary arteries, usually by an atherosclerotic plaque, that eventually results in formation of a thrombus (blood clot).
The risk factors for Acute MI are:
Angiography - An angiography is used to determine the health of the blood vessels and how blood flows through them. An angiography can help diagnose a number of problems that affect blood vessels, including:
Why is Angiography done?
In order to detect a blockage or narrowing of the blood vessels, the blood vessels are x-rayed after inserting a dye. Chest pain, heart attacks, strokes, and other problems may result from blocked, damaged, or abnormal blood vessels. Angiography helps the physician determine the root cause of your illness and the extent of the damage to the blood vessels being examined
What is MI (Myocardial Infarction)?
MI is an acute coronary syndrome caused by the blockage of 1 or more coronary arteries, usually by an atherosclerotic plaque, that eventually results in formation of a thrombus (blood clot).
KD Hospital’s Cardiologist in Ahmedabad performs angiography for the following:
Balloon Valvuloplasty (BV) - It is a non-surgical procedure performed to widen the opening of a narrowed heart valve (flaps of tissue that control the unidirectional flow of blood in the heart) and improve blood flow through the heart. It may be done in the mitral valve (BMV), pulmonary valve (BPV), or aortic valve (BAV).
PPI (Permanent Pacemaker Implantation) - It involves the implantation of an electronic device in the body that continuously monitors the heart rhythm & prevents your heart from beating too slowly.
KD Hospital has the Best Cardiologist in Ahmedabad with over a decade of experience in Surgical, Non-surgical and various diagnostic interventions. Helping patients suffering from heart diseases & allowing them to live a prolonged healthy life is the main goal of our Heart Specialist in Ahmedabad.
