A 94-year-old patient suffering from repeated heart failure was successfully treated by Thane doctors with a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) at the hospital.
The patient was admitted under Dr Nitin Burkule, consultant – Interventional Cardiologist, at Jupiter Hospital. Due to severe narrowing of the heart valve, the patient had been hospitalised twice within a month with breathlessness, weakness, and extreme fatigue.
