A new milestone in structural heart care. ❤️
Fortis Memorial Research Institute (FMRI) has successfully performed India's first Pivot-TR Device Implantation on an international patient with advanced right heart failure, offering new hope to patients with complex tricuspid valve disease who have limited treatment options.
Led by Dr. Manjinder Sandhu and the multidisciplinary Heart Team at FMRI, in collaboration with Prof. Kim and his team from Pusan, South Korea, this pioneering transcatheter procedure was performed on a 35-year-old patient from Trinidad & Tobago suffering from end-stage right ventricular dysfunction and severe tricuspid regurgitation.
Despite multiple hospitalizations and consultations across different countries, conventional treatment options were not suitable due to the complexity of her condition. Following a detailed evaluation, the team opted for the innovative Pivot-TR Device, resulting in immediate hemodynamic improvement and remarkable clinical recovery.
This landmark achievement reflects the commitment to bringing cutting-edge cardiovascular innovations to patients from across the globe and reinforces its leadership in advanced structural heart interventions.
