Manipal Hospitals Kolkata Completes 50 Successful TAVR Cases

Manipal Hospitals - EM Bypass in Kolkata has recently reached a significant milestone with the successful completion of 50 Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) procedures. This achievement not only showcases the hospital's excellence in cardiac care but also places it at the forefront of this innovative treatment in Eastern India.

TAVR is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed for patients suffering from severe aortic stenosis who face high or prohibitive risks during traditional open-heart surgeries. The completion of these 50 cases signifies not just a number but a testament to the trust that patients place in the facility, the advanced medical infrastructure available, and the expertise of the multidisciplinary heart team.

According to Dr. Dilip Kumar, the Director of the Cath Lab and a Senior Interventional Cardiologist at Manipal Hospital - EM Bypass, this milestone is a pivotal advancement in cardiac care. He remarked, “TAVR has revolutionized the treatment of valve dysfunction, especially in elderly and high-risk patients. Achieving this milestone without any complications highlights our team's expertise and the robust patient-centered environment we have cultivated at our hospital.” Dr. Kumar emphasized the growing trend of catheter-based valve replacement as a leading option for cardiac interventions, spotlighting that Manipal Hospitals is leading these efforts in Eastern India.

Dr. Arindam Pande, a Senior Consultant and Interventional Cardiologist, elaborated on the benefits of TAVR, stating, “This procedure offers a life-saving option for patients who previously had few alternatives. Unlike traditional surgeries, TAVR avoids opening the chest, significantly reduces anesthetic risks, and allows for much faster recovery times.” Patients typically return home within a day or two post-surgery, a recovery timeline that is nothing short of revolutionary in cardiology.

The achievement of 50 successful TAVR procedures is not just a victory for Manipal Hospitals, but it reflects the institution’s commitment to expanding access to cutting-edge cardiac treatments while enhancing the recovery and quality of life for patients grappling with structural heart diseases.
