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.

Comprehensive Cardiac Sciences Department
The Department of Cardiac Sciences integrates three key specialties — Non-Invasive Cardiology, Interventional Cardiology, and Cardiothoracic Surgery — to deliver end-to-end heart care, from prevention and early diagnosis to advanced interventions and complex surgeries.
Preventive & Non-Invasive Cardiology
Early Detection. Better Protection.
Heart disease, particularly coronary artery disease, remains a leading cause of serious complications. Early detection and preventive care are crucial in reducing risks and improving long-term outcomes.
Our department is equipped with advanced diagnostic technologies that enable accurate identification of cardiac conditions at their earliest stages. We offer a range of personalized preventive heart check-ups and comprehensive health screening programs, tailored to individual risk profiles and lifestyle needs.
Interventional Cardiology
Precision-Based, Life-Saving Treatments
Our team of highly skilled interventional cardiologists performs a wide spectrum of minimally invasive, catheter-based procedures, ensuring effective treatment with faster recovery.
Key Services Include:
- Coronary, Peripheral, Carotid, and Renal Angiographies, including Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA)
- Radial Approach Angiography, offering enhanced comfort and quicker recovery
- 24/7 Primary Angioplasty for Heart Attack, targeting a door-to-balloon time of under 60 minutes
- Complex Angioplasties, including:
- Chronic Total Occlusions (CTO)
- Post-bypass graft interventions
- Multivessel and bifurcation lesion angioplasties
- Peripheral Interventions for arteries of the brain, kidneys, limbs, and abdomen
- Bio-Absorbable Stents (Scaffolds) for advanced vascular healing
- Valve Interventions, including Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (BMV)
- Pacemaker & Cardiac Device Implantations for rhythm disorders and heart failure
From managing common symptoms like angina to critical conditions such as myocardial infarction, the department ensures timely, accurate, and effective cardiac care.
