Bhubaneswar’s KIMS 1st Odisha Hospital To Repair Heart Valve Through TMVR Procedure

Bhubaneswar: Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) became the first hospital in Odisha to successfully conduct Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR) procedure to repair damaged valve.

The breakthrough procedure was performed on a 69-year-old patient, who had visited several hospitals outside the state seeking treatment for a damaged heart valve before finding hope at KIMS here.

He had a complex medical history, having undergone surgery 17 years earlier in New Delhi to replace two damaged heart valves with tissue prosthetics.

Despite the patient’s high-risk profile, including uncontrolled diabetes and chronic kidney disease, KIMS doctors, led by Assistant Professor Dr Anupam Jena from Department of Cardiac Science, decided to perform TMVR.

Dr Jena and his team executed the procedure by precisely replacing the malfunctioning valve.

This will alleviate the burden on patients requiring TMVR procedure who previously had to seek treatment outside the state. With KIMS offering this intervention locally, crucial time will be saved as well as associated costs for patients reduced.

Post procedure, the patient made swift recovery and was discharged from hospital.

KIIT and KISS founder Dr Achyuta Samanta lauded the doctors who conducted the TMVR procedure, underlining the hospital’s commitment to provide advanced treatment with care and compassion.
