TAVR: Heart Valve Replacement Without Open-Heart Surgery

Every year, thousands of Indians are told they need their aortic valve replaced, but are considered too old or too frail for open-heart surgery. For many of them, TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement), also called TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation), is now a proven alternative.

The procedure works by guiding a new valve through a thin tube inserted into an artery, usually in the leg or groin. No chest is opened. The new valve is placed inside the damaged one and begins working immediately. Most patients are walking within 24 hours and go home within three to five days.

TAVR was once reserved for the highest-risk patients. It is now recommended across all surgical risk levels, including patients who could have open-heart surgery but recover better with TAVR.

The most common reason patients need this procedure is aortic stenosis, which is a narrowing of the aortic valve that makes the heart work harder to pump blood. Symptoms include breathlessness on exertion, chest tightness, dizziness, or unexplained fatigue. Many patients live with these symptoms for years before a diagnosis is made.

Dr. Haresh Mehta has performed over 1,300 TAVR procedures at hospitals such as S.L. Raheja Hospital - Fortis, Mumbai, one of the few centres in India with a dedicated structural heart programme. He serves as Director of Interventional and Structural Cardiology and has over 35 years of experience treating complex valve disease.

Pacemaker Implantation: When the Heart Needs Help Keeping the Beat

The heart has its own electrical system that controls every heartbeat. When that system fails, whether through age, disease, or damage, the heart may beat too slowly, pause unexpectedly, or lose coordination between its chambers. The result can be dizziness, blackouts, extreme fatigue, or sudden cardiac arrest.

A pacemaker is a small device, roughly the size of a fifty-rupee coin, implanted just below the collarbone. It continuously monitors the heart's rhythm and delivers a small electrical signal whenever the heart needs a prompt to beat. Modern pacemakers are long-lasting, MRI-compatible, and adjust automatically to the patient's activity level.

The procedure to implant a pacemaker typically takes one to two hours under local anaesthesia. Most patients go home the following day. Leads, which are the thin wires connecting the device to the heart, are guided through a vein, so no open-chest surgery is required.

In some cases, a dual-chamber or biventricular pacemaker is needed to coordinate the right and left sides of the heart simultaneously. This is common in patients with heart failure who do not respond adequately to medication alone.

The procedure is called Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT) and can meaningfully improve heart function and quality of life in the right patients.

Dr. Haresh Mehta has implanted over 5,000 pacemakers and CRT devices over his 35+ years career. His practice covers the full range of pacing indications, from simple bradycardia to complex resynchronisation cases.

If a family member has experienced unexplained blackouts, been told their heart rate is dangerously slow, or has heart failure not responding to medication, a pacing assessment may be appropriate.

MitraClip: Treating a Leaky Mitral Valve Without Surgery

The mitral valve sits between the left chambers of the heart. When it does not close properly, blood leaks backwards with every heartbeat (a condition called mitral regurgitation). Over time, this forces the heart to work harder, weakens the heart muscle, and leads to breathlessness, fatigue, and heart failure.

The standard treatment has long been open-heart surgery to repair or replace the valve. For patients with advanced age, weak heart function, or other serious health conditions, that surgery carries significant risk.

MitraClip is a catheter-based procedure that repairs the leaking valve without opening the chest. A small clip is guided through a vein and placed directly onto the mitral valve, reducing the leak and relieving symptoms. The procedure is performed under imaging guidance, takes a few hours, and most patients are discharged within two to three days.

Clinical evidence shows MitraClip significantly reduces hospitalisations for heart failure and improves quality of life, particularly in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation, where the valve leaks as a result of a weakened heart rather than a structural defect in the valve itself.

Dr. Haresh Mehta is one of the most experienced cardiologists for this procedure in India. Patients are referred from across India, including cases declined elsewhere due to high surgical risk.

If a family member has been living with breathlessness, swollen ankles, or worsening heart failure and has been told surgery is not an option, MitraClip may be worth discussing.

Coronary, Peripheral and Carotid Interventions: Treating Blockages Beyond the Heart

Blocked arteries are not limited to the heart. The same process that causes heart attacks (plaque building up inside artery walls and narrowing the passage for blood flow) can affect arteries throughout the body. When it affects the arteries supplying the legs, it causes pain while walking. When it affects the carotid arteries in the neck, it raises the risk of stroke.

Coronary intervention (angioplasty and stenting) remains the most common procedure for restoring blood flow to the heart muscle. A small balloon is inflated inside the blocked artery to widen it, and a stent is placed to keep it open. For most heart attack patients, this is now done within hours of arrival at hospital.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is significantly underdiagnosed in India. Patients often attribute leg pain to age or arthritis for years before the real cause is identified. Left untreated, severe PAD can lead to non-healing wounds and limb loss.

Carotid artery disease is one of the leading preventable causes of stroke. When the carotid arteries narrow significantly, a catheter-based procedure to open the blockage can reduce stroke risk substantially without open-neck surgery.

Dr. Haresh Mehta has performed more than 25,000 coronary, peripheral, and carotid interventions in the last 35+ years. Complex cases, including chronic total occlusions and multi-vessel disease, are a routine part of his practice.

TAVR, or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, is a less invasive alternative to open-heart surgery for patients with severe aortic valve narrowing. Instead of opening the chest, doctors insert the new valve through a small tube, usually via the leg. Recovery is faster, with many patients going home within 1–3 days and returning to normal activities much sooner.

MitraClip

The MitraClip is a minimally invasive treatment for mitral valve leakage, also known as mitral regurgitation. Instead of open-heart surgery, a small clip is placed on the valve through a thin tube inserted via the leg. It helps the valve close more completely, reducing the leak. Most patients return home in 1–2 days and experience a quicker, easier recovery.
