Structural Cardiac Interventions

Structural cardiac interventions are cutting-edge procedures used to treat heart valve diseases and congenital heart defects without open-heart surgery. These techniques improve quality of life with faster recovery and fewer complications.

Minimally Invasive Solutions for Structural Heart Disease

Structural cardiac interventions involve catheter-based techniques to correct abnormalities in the heart’s structure—such as valve defects and congenital openings between chambers. Common procedures include Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), MitraClip for mitral valve repair, and closure of atrial or ventricular septal defects. These interventions offer new hope to patients who are not suitable candidates for traditional surgery due to age, frailty, or comorbidities. Guided by real-time imaging, interventional cardiologists perform these procedures through small incisions, often requiring only a short hospital stay and resulting in rapid recovery.

What Are Structural Cardiac Interventions?

Structural cardiac interventions are non-surgical, catheter-based procedures used to repair or replace damaged heart structures such as valves, septal walls, or congenital defects. These advanced techniques allow treatment without opening the chest, using small incisions and real-time imaging to guide precision repairs. They are commonly used for patients with aortic stenosis, mitral valve regurgitation, septal defects, or those at high surgical risk due to age or underlying health conditions. With rapid recovery times and excellent success rates, structural interventions are transforming the way heart diseases are treated.

Your Journey Through Structural Cardiac Intervention

1

Initial Cardiology Evaluation

Detailed assessment including echocardiogram, CT scan, and angiogram to evaluate structural defects.

2

Pre-Procedural Planning

Interventional cardiology team plans the best approach using imaging and clinical criteria.

3

Minimally Invasive Procedure

Catheter inserted via a small incision, usually in the groin, to access and treat the heart structure.

4

Immediate Recovery

Post-procedure monitoring in a recovery unit, often with discharge within 24–72 hours.

5

Follow-Up and Rehabilitation

Cardiac rehab and follow-up tests to track progress and optimize heart function.

Common Procedures in Structural Cardiac Interventions

TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement)

A life-saving procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve using a catheter instead of surgery.

MitraClip Procedure

Minimally invasive technique to repair a leaking mitral valve in patients not fit for surgery.

ASD/VSD Closure

Catheter-based repair of atrial or ventricular septal defects, avoiding open-heart surgery.

Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) Closure

Reduces stroke risk in atrial fibrillation patients by sealing off the LAA without surgery.
