Bhubaneswar: The Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) has successfully done the first case of Trans-catheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) on Wednesday.

This state-of-the-art procedure was done at KIMS by Cardiologist Dr Anupam Jena and his team. Dr Michael Caskey from USA helped the team in successfully performing the procedure.

Notably, a 72-year-old woman was suffering from narrowing of the aortic valve. She was also complaining of chest pain and breathing difficulty.

The patient was evaluated by cardiologist and cardiac surgeon. She was found to be at high risk zone for carrying out of an open heart surgery on her. Therefore, she was advised to undergo Trans-catheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). Subsequently, the patient underwent TAVR.

Her condition is stable now and will be discharged in two to three days, said the medical sources.

TAVR or Trans-catheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is a minimally invasive procedure that repairs the Aortic valve without removing the old, damaged valve.
