Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR) in Bangalore
Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR) is an advanced structural intervention used to replace a malfunctioning mitral valve using a catheter-based delivery system. For patients whose mitral valve is severely narrowed or leaking, a new, expandable valve is carefully guided to the heart and deployed inside the native valve, completely taking over its function without opening the chest.
Dr. Sreekanth Shetty provides expert care in structural heart interventions, managing complex valvular diseases with modern, catheter-delivered solutions. He utilizes detailed pre-procedural CT imaging to carefully measure and plan TMVR procedures for precise, secure valve deployment.
When Is It Recommended?
TMVR is considered for patients with severe mitral valve stenosis or regurgitation—often those who have a failing previously implanted surgical bioprosthetic valve (Valve-in-Valve)—and are considered high-risk candidates for a repeat traditional open-heart surgery.
