Lilavati Hospital has emerged as one of the first hospitals in the country to successfully perform an Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)-guided Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) procedure using the Edwards Sapien III Resilia valve.
The pathbreaking procedure was conducted on a 77-year-old patient from Surat suffering from severe aortic stenosis who was unfit for open-heart surgery due to age, prior heart surgeries, multiple stents and complications.
