Structural Heart Interventions

Structural heart intervention at Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai in Kottayam, Kerala provides catheter-based treatment for heart valve disease and structural heart defects, offering minimally invasive alternatives to open heart surgery for appropriately selected patients. The service includes transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI/TAVR) and device closure procedures for ASD, VSD, and PDA, along with other catheter based structural heart interventions.

Each procedure is planned by a multidisciplinary heart team of cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, with treatment selected according to the patient's anatomy, condition, and surgical risk. These minimally invasive approaches can reduce the need for open surgery and may support a shorter recovery for appropriately selected patients.
