Structural heart diseases involve defects or abnormalities in the heart’s valves, walls, or chambers that can severely affect heart function. Dr. Basavaraj Utagi, an AIIMS-trained cardiologist with over 13 years of experience, specializes in minimally invasive structural heart and valve interventions that offer life-changing solutions without the need for open-heart surgery.
These advanced, catheter-based treatments are performed in a state-of-the-art cardiac cath lab, ensuring precision, safety, and faster recovery.
Key Structural Interventions Offered:
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Closure
Minimally invasive repair of holes in the heart’s septum to prevent complications like stroke or heart failure.
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) Closure
Catheter-based sealing of an abnormal connection between two heart vessels that usually closes after birth.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
A revolutionary procedure for high-risk patients with severe aortic valve narrowing (aortic stenosis), replacing the valve without open surgery.
Benefits of Structural Interventions:
Shorter hospital stay and faster recovery
No large surgical incisions
Ideal for elderly or high-risk patients
Long-lasting relief from breathlessness, fatigue, and heart murmurs
