Aster Medcity launched a specialised department named ‘Aster Advanced Heart Valve Centre’ under Aster Cardiac Sciences. The department focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of valvular heart disease and offers a comprehensive range of services, including medication, minimally invasive procedures, and surgical procedures such as valve repair or replacement.
Dr Azad Moopen, Chairman & Managing Director of Aster DM Healthcare launched ‘Aster Advanced Heart Valve Centre’ in an event held in Kochi.
Dr Moopen said, “I am glad to announce the launch of our latest specialised center, Advanced Heart Valve Centre which promises to be a benchmark in the field. Until recently, surgical treatment was the norm for valve disease beyond medical management, which came with its share of complications. However, with the advent of non-surgical interventional treatment modalities such as TAVI/TAVR, Mitra Clip, TMVR, etc., patients have access to much less invasive options. Our center is committed to providing the latest and most advanced treatments in heart healthcare, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients.”
