TAVR procedures are now well established and worldwide more than 120,000 patients underwent TAVR in 50 countries. In India, as of now, 5000 procedures have been performed over the last 10 years. In Eastern India, the highest number of TAVR procedures has been performed in Manipal Hospitals.

Catheter-based valve replacement is becoming the wave of the future in cardiac intervention, and we are proud to be at the forefront, giving world-class outcomes right here in Eastern India." Dr. Arindam Pande, Senior Consultant, Department of Cardiology and Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, Manipal Hospital - EM Bypass shared, "With TAVR, we can provide a life-saving option to patients who previously had very little to choose from.
