Dr. Prem Ratan Degawat, a leading Interventional Cardiologist and TAVR Expert in Rajasthan, is at the forefront of innovative heart valve procedures. This page explores Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR), a groundbreaking alternative to traditional open-heart surgery for mitral valve disease.
Understanding Mitral Valve Disease
The mitral valve regulates blood flow within the heart’s left chambers. When this valve becomes damaged or weakened (mitral regurgitation or stenosis), it can lead to various complications. Symptoms may include fatigue, shortness of breath, and heart failure.
TMVR: A Revolutionary Approach
TMVR (Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement) offers a groundbreaking alternative to open-heart surgery for mitral valve replacement. During this minimally invasive procedure, a catheter is inserted through a small incision and guided to the heart. A new heart valve is then delivered through the catheter and positioned to replace the faulty mitral valve.
Advantages of TMVR over Traditional Surgery
- Minimally Invasive: TMVR avoids the need for a large chest incision, resulting in faster recovery times, shorter hospital stays, and reduced pain.
- Improved Quality of Life: Many patients experience significant symptom relief and a quicker return to daily activities.
- Safer Alternative: TMVR may be suitable for high-risk patients who wouldn’t be candidates for traditional surgery.
