Together with Kazakh colleagues, cardiologists of MC Erebouni performed the latest and modern intervention - transcatheter aortic valve replacement. An 83-year-old woman had a new aortic valve replacement without opening the chest.
With the help of an angiographic device, using X-rays images obtained, by reaching the level of the aortic valve of the heart from the artery of the leg, a new valve is replaced in place of the old one.
Once again, the visit of highly qualified specialists to MC Erebouni was organized by the company "Marg Pharma».
Today, the number of cases of endovascular replacement of the aortic valve is growing every year in the world, medicine is taking big steps along the path of non-open surgeries:
MC Erebouni is guided by the same principle.
The angiographic service annually performs not only stenting of a large number of coronary vessels of the heart, but also other endovascular interventions as an alternative to open surgeries.
Endovascular cardiologist Arsen Tsaturyan for the first time in Armenia started and successfully carries out cardiovascular interventions-angioplasty and embolization. Embolization-blockage of vascular formations of various localization. The latter is not only less traumatic, but also the only possible in cases where open surgery is contraindicated for the patient. Transcatheter endovascular aortic valve replacement is another victory of the Angiographic Service of MC Erebouni.
