Mangaluru: Indiana Hospital, a pioneer in structural heart diseases treatment  


Media release

Mangaluru, Feb 28: Indiana Hospital and Heart Institute, Mangaluru, a pioneer in heart care throughout South India, celebrated a key milestone of performing two TAVI/TAVRs in a single day to mark the completion of four years of Indiana’s structural heart diseases programme.

Keeping abreast with the time, where surgery can be avoided and simple, less painful and affordable treatments are the order of the day, Indiana Hospital has once again proved to be one of the best heart centres for treatment of structural heart diseases without surgery.

The structural disease programme, initiated in 2019 at Indiana, and first time in Mangaluru, began with TAVI/TAVR. Subsequently, the programme encompassed the procedure for mitral valve replacement in 2020 which was done for the first time in Karnataka, a feat Indiana is proud of.

In these four years, Indiana has been performing procedures for structural heart diseases on a regular basis and with astounding results. This is the first and largest centre in the region to start this programme to treat structural heart diseases and has been well acknowledged by healthcare consultants and patients.

To add another feather on its cap, another complicated case of TAVI/TAVR, one with angioplasty, were performed in a single day last week at Indiana.

Says Dr Yusuf Kumble, managing director and chief interventional cardiologist, “With the epidemic structural heart disease hitting India hard, the scenario is changing rapidly with new techniques. Indiana Hospital has been the pioneer in the state to adopt new techniques to treat such diseases without surgery. Through our structural heart disease programme, we have been performing procedures like TAVI/TAVR, Mitral valve replacement, etc on a regular basis and with 100 per cent success rate.”

He adds, “The Indiana Team of cardiologists are fully equipped with these techniques of advanced therapies so that patients in the region can get best of the treatment without surgery at a lesser cost as compared to the metro cities.”

Little wonder then that the Indiana Hospital has positioned itself as a most sought after centre for procedures like TAVI/TAVR.
