Marengo CIMS Hospital has achieved another significant milestone in the field of advanced cardiac sciences with the successful completion of its 66th TAVI/TAVR procedure on 05th January 2026. This achievement reflects the hospital’s sustained commitment to innovation, clinical excellence, and patient-centric care.
TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation), also known as TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement), is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat patients with severe aortic valve stenosis. Unlike conventional open-heart surgery, TAVI/TAVR enables replacement of the damaged aortic valve using a catheter-based approach, significantly reducing surgical trauma, hospital stay, and recovery time—especially beneficial for elderly and high-risk patients.
Marengo CIMS Hospital has been a pioneer in initiating the TAVI/TAVR program in Gujarat since 2015, consistently setting benchmarks in advanced interventional cardiology. Over the years, the multidisciplinary heart team has successfully performed numerous complex valve procedures, offering renewed quality of life to patients who were earlier considered unsuitable for surgery.
Through a highly skilled multidisciplinary team and the use of advanced catheter-based technologies, the hospital continues to deliver safe, precise, and patient-focused valve interventions. Each successful TAVI/TAVR procedure represents a step forward in expanding treatment options for patients with complex cardiac conditions, reinforcing the institution’s role in advancing minimally invasive cardiac care and improving long-term patient outcomes across the region.
