A gentle, catheter-based route to restoring your heart’s main valve.
Living with severe aortic stenosis can leave you feeling breathless, fatigued, and uncertain about the future. When traditional open-heart surgery carries too high a risk or requires a longer recovery than you would prefer, discovering a minimally invasive alternative brings immense relief. Shifara Health exists so that this advanced valve repair—and your journey to India to receive it—is never something you have to manage alone.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), also frequently referred to as TAVR, is a revolutionary, minimally invasive heart procedure performed to replace a narrowed or calcified aortic valve (aortic stenosis) without open-heart surgery.
During TAVI, a catheter carrying a replacement valve is guided through a blood vessel—most commonly via the groin (femoral artery)—directly into the heart. Once positioned inside the old, damaged valve, the new valve expands and immediately takes over regulating blood flow. India’s top structural heart institutions house cutting-edge hybrid cath labs and internationally recognized cardiologists who perform TAVI with high success rates and significantly reduced recovery times.
Advanced structural heart interventions require specialized multi-disciplinary heart teams, advanced 3D cardiac imaging, and state-of-the-art hybrid operating suites. India’s premier cardiac centers offer these capabilities without the long waitlists often found in Western healthcare systems. International patients traveling from the Gulf, Africa, and neighboring regions receive world-class, FDA-approved valve systems implanted by leading interventional specialists at a fraction of Western costs, backed by exceptional nursing and ICU care.
We compile your echocardiograms, CT angiograms, and medical history for detailed evaluation by India’s top structural heart boards. We take care of all travel arrangements, medical visas, and priority hospital scheduling so you can focus entirely on your health.
