As part of its continued growth and commitment to excellence, the Heart Centre operates through dedicated vertical units, enabling focused expertise and specialized care pathways for different cardiac conditions.
TAVR – Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure used to treat aortic valve stenosis, a condition where the heart valve narrows and restricts blood flow.
Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, TAVR allows valve replacement through a catheter-based approach, making it particularly beneficial for patients who are at intermediate or high risk for surgical complications.
Key Advantages of TAVR:
- Minimally invasive procedure with smaller incisions
- Reduced recovery time and hospital stay
- Lower risk for high-risk patients
- Effective relief from symptoms such as breathlessness and fatigue
- Improved survival and quality of life
This procedure is especially suitable for patients with associated conditions such as kidney or lung disorders, which may increase the risks of conventional surgery. A detailed evaluation by cardiac specialists is essential to determine suitability for TAVR and to explore the best treatment options.
Commitment to Excellence
At Abbhary Heart Centre, our guiding principles are quality, precision, and patient-centric care. By integrating advanced medical technologies with compassionate healthcare delivery, we strive to ensure the best possible outcomes and improved quality of life for every patient.
