Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), a new era for heart care
The aorta is the largest artery in the human body, carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The aortic valve, located at the beginning of the aorta, controls blood flow from the left ventricle of heart. When this valve gets obstructed due to calcification or aging, it is known as Aortic stenosis. This condition leads to reduction in cardiac output, leading to breathlessness, chest pain, fatigue, or even heart failure if untreated.One of the most advanced treatment for this condition is Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR).

SDMH WHERE COMPASSION MEETS WORLD-CLASS HEALTHCARE
Santokba Durlabhji Memorial Hospital (SDMH) Jaipur, established in 1971 and inaugurated by the then Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi, began with 80 beds and a modest set of specialties. Guided by the mission to offer quality healthcare to all, it has grown into a 525-bed multi-speciality institution with over 140 ICU beds and virtually every major clinical department. Over the past five decades, the hospital has touched the lives of more than six million people, remaining steadfast to its founding ethos that no patient should be denied treatment for want of resources. This unwavering commitment to compassionate care has earned SDMH honours such as the Newsweek USA “World’s Best Hospitals” Award for two consecutive years, along with several national accolades.

Healing the Heart Without Surgery: A Leap in Structural Interventions
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in India, affecting millions each year. For decades, patients with diseased heart valves had only one option — open-heart surgery. It was lifesaving but also complex, painful, and often too risky for elderly patients. In recent years, however, a revolution has quietly transformed this landscape. Through structural heart interventions, valves can now be repaired or replaced without opening the chest. These procedures have redefined the limits of modern cardiology, offering patients new hope and faster recovery.
