My father is 62 and needs a valve replacement but we're worried about open heart surgery. I heard about TAVR or TAVI as an alternative. Can you suggest hospitals in Mumbai that perform this procedure?

Several hospitals in Mumbai offer Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), also known as TAVI, as an alternative to open-heart surgery for valve replacement. Some of these hospitals include Hiranandani Hospital and Apollo Hospitals. It's important to consult with a cardiologist to determine if TAVR is the right choice for your father, considering his age, overall health, and the specific type of valve disease.
