Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], June 3: At the Arneja Heart Institute, three transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures were successfully finished in a single day, marking a significant milestone in cardiac treatment for Nagpur. This accomplishment, spearheaded by Dr. Jaspal Arneja and aided by his clinical staff, highlights the expanding capacity of regional centers to provide cutting-edge structural cardiac therapy. The treatments made use of a balloon-expandable TAVI system, which is made in India and is becoming more and more renowned for its accuracy and versatility in handling challenging anatomical situations. The medical team underlined the collaborative expertise needed to perform high-risk procedures within constrained timeframes, even as they recognized the critical role that developing indigenous technology play in allowing such outcomes.

In a single day, three patients—a 54-year-old woman with a critically narrowed valve and reduced heart function, a 78-year-old man, and an 85-year-old woman with a congenital bicuspid valve—were given a new lease on life through minimally invasive heart valve replacement. All had been suffering from severe breathlessness and declining cardiac function.

This advanced procedure was performed without any surgery or stitches, using a single puncture technique to insert a catheter — making it a truly minimally invasive approach. The successful cases were carried out by a distinguished team of doctors: Dr. Jaspal Arneja, Dr. Vivek Mandurke, Dr. Amar Amale, and Dr. Mohajit Arneja, whose combined skill and experience made this clinical achievement possible.

This series of interventions is being viewed as a landmark in local cardiac care, reflecting the growing strength of tier-2 cities like Nagpur in delivering cutting-edge, patient-centric cardiac treatments.
