First-Ever Non-Surgical Transcatheter tricuspid Valve Replacement (TTVR-ViV ) Performed in Rajasthan
VMPL
Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], June 3: In a major medical breakthrough for Rajasthan, doctors at Eternal Hospital, Jaipur, have successfully replaced the tricuspid heart valve without open-heart surgery - a first-of-its-kind procedure in the state. Until now, only the aortic and mitral valves could be replaced using transcatheter techniques, but Eternal Hospital's expert heart team has now achieved this milestone with the help of Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement (TTVR).
Dr. Prem Ratan Degawat, Director of Mitral & Tricuspid Valve Therapy, Associate Director TAVR & Senior Structural Heart Disease Expert at Eternal Hospital who performed this procedure said that "The complex procedure was performed on a 57-year-old male patient from Jayal, Nagaur, who had previously undergone two open-heart surgeries - first in 1985 and again in 2017. Due to severe bleeding complications during the second surgery, including heavy bleeding, a third open-heart surgery was considered extremely high-risk.
The patient was facing serious health issues, including breathlessness, leg swelling, fluid accumulation in the abdomen, and fluid in the lungs for the past few months. Given his prior surgical history and deteriorating condition, open-heart surgery was ruled out.
The heart team at Eternal decided to proceed with TTVR, a cutting-edge, minimally invasive technique in which the damaged tricuspid valve is replaced via catheter - without opening the chest. The entire procedure was completed in just 30 minutes.
Fast recovery - Discharged in just three days
Dr. Prashant Dwivedi, Director & Incharge for Structural Heart Disease program at Eternal Hospital, shared that the patient made a swift recovery and was discharged within three days of the procedure.
He added, "Compared to traditional surgery, TTVR is much safer and allows for quicker recovery. In this case, the patient showed immediate improvement in symptoms."
The successful procedure was carried out under the guidance of internationally renowned interventional cardiologist Dr. Samin K. Sharma and senior cardiac surgeon Dr. Ajeet Bana, Cardiac Anaesthetist Dr Navneet Mehta, Dr J S Makkar and Dr Hemant Chaturvedi.
A new hope for high-risk patients
Mrs. Manju Sharma, Co-Chairperson of Eternal Hospital, said:
"Until now, patients who were considered inoperable had very limited options. With TTVR, we now have a new ray of hope for them."

How Aquascaping is Redefining Interior Design in India -- And Why Reef & Stream Is at the Centre of It
VMPL New Delhi [India], June 4: In India's evolving design landscape, aquascaping -- the art of creating living aquatic environments -- is quietly emerging as a medium that unites wellness, sustainability, and spatial aesthetics. Once limited to hobbyist forums or corner aquariums, aquascaping is now capturing the imagination of architects, interior designers, and homeowners alike. It is being recognised not just as a visual art but as an immersive experience that offers meditative stillness, ecological awareness, and architectural storytelling. At the forefront of this quiet revolution is Reef & Stream Aquascapes Pvt Ltd, a Delhi NCR-based firm that has become synonymous with high-concept aquatic installations. Founded by Abhik Mazumdar, the company specialises in creating bespoke aquatic ecosystems that balance cutting-edge engineering with nature-inspired design. From freshwater biotopes to elaborate saltwater environments, their work spans private villas, corporate lounges, and boutique hospitality spaces. The company's ethos is rooted in both artistic expression and ecological responsibility. "We don't build aquariums," says founder Abhik Mazumdar. "We create living environments. Our goal is to design ecosystems that integrate into the architecture, reflect the spirit of the space, and above all, sustain life with care and intelligence." Abhik's journey into aquascaping is as layered as the environments he builds. A trained lawyer and former litigator, his fascination with aquatic life began in childhood, watching fish being sold in Horlicks bottles outside his school in Kolkata. His passion followed him through law school and even into his professional career, where, as a hobby, he installed his first marine aquarium in the office of senior advocate K.K. Venugopal. One of these early projects in his own chambers with his senior, Mr. Sanjay Jain's law firm, caught the attention of industrialist Mr. Anil Nanda, who would later commission his first large-scale installation -- and hence, the birth of Reef & Stream. "Great things often happen when quiet passion meets sustained discipline," Abhik reflects. "For me, aquascaping was initially not about commercialisation. It was about finding a way to translate emotion into ecology, continuing my hobby, and then building it, one layer at a time." Among the company's standout installations is the widely admired Temple of Anubis, a 35,000-litre marine aquascape designed to resemble a sunken Egyptian sanctuary. Complete with sculptural representations, custom lighting to mimic underwater sun cycles, and ethically sourced marine life, the installation blurs the line between myth and biology. It is both an artistic centrepiece and a functioning, sustainable habitat. But Reef & Stream's portfolio isn't limited to such grand aquascapes only. Some of its most impactful work includes biotope-style tanks -- closed-loop ecosystems that replicate real-world aquatic habitats with native species and flora. These quieter, subtler pieces are often found in meditative corners of homes or wellness spaces, offering a glimpse into the natural rhythm of water. What sets Reef & Stream apart is Abhik's multidisciplinary approach. Each project involves architectural, engineering, and biological expertise, blended with aesthetics and interior design. Advanced life support systems (LSS) are designed in-house, using principles of biology, chemistry, and environmental physics. "These aren't plug-and-play setups," says Abhik. "They require constant supervision and maintenance." This approach, while complex, is what makes the installations last -- not just in terms of physical longevity, but emotional presence. Clients are often educated on how to live with their aquascapes, rather than simply look at them. Annual maintenance contracts (AMCs) are standard, ensuring that each environment remains balanced and healthy. Looking ahead, Abhik sees immense potential in public engagement with aquascaping. "What India lacks right now is a world-class public aquarium -- a space where common citizens can experience these ecosystems not as exhibits, but as stories of life and interdependence," he says. "Through Reef & Stream, I hope we can someday contribute to that vision." There's also a growing conversation around sustainability and ethical sourcing in aquatic design, something Reef & Stream has embraced from the beginning. All livestock is sourced from responsible, captive-breeding farms, and materials are chosen for longevity and marine safety. As biophilic design becomes more central to architecture in India, aquascaping is poised to play a critical role in shaping how we think about nature indoors. At a time when most design solutions are either digitally driven or space-saving, Reef & Stream is offering something more timeless: a return to slowness, to care, and to connection -- through water, light, and life. In this new frontier of aquatic architecture, companies like Reef & Stream -- and individuals like Abhik Mazumdar -- are not just building tanks. They're building worlds.
