Areas of Expertise
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve that fails to open properly.
Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVR)
TMVR, also known as transcatheter mitral valve replacement is a way of replacing the mitral valve in the heart without the need for conventional open-heart surgery.
MitraClip
MitraClip is a breakthrough innovation for mitral valve patients. It is a device used to treat mitral valve regurgitation .
Rotablation
Rotablation represents an addition to the standard PTCA procedure and uses a tiny drill, powered by compressed air, to remove calcified deposits.
Complex Angioplasty
Angioplasty is a procedure to restore blood flow through the artery to combat coronary artery disease by removing plaque.
Intracoronary Imaging IVUS, OCT
Intracoronary imaging techniques (intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT)) are used in combating coronary artery disease.
Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold
The BVS a non metallic mesh tube that is used to treat a narrowed artery, is similar to a stent, but slowly dissolves once the blocked artery can function naturally again.
Intracoronary Physiology FFR
Fractional Flow Reserve, or FFR, is a guide wire-based procedure that can accurately measure blood pressure and flow through.
Transradial Intervention
The transradial technique is an effective, minimally invasive approach to perform coronary and peripheral angiograms and interventions.

“Dr.Sengottuvelu is a very gentle, caring , pleasant and takes time to listen to our concerns. I love the personal service and attention I receive when I visit him. He is highly knowledgeable and down to earth. If we are under his care and treatment we can be assured that we are in safe hands.”
Ashwini Umashankar
Patient
“I had severe breathing difficulty requiring repeated hospital admissions for severe aortic stenosis and COPD and many surgeons refused open heart surgery. I had completely lost hope. All that changed with Dr Sengottuvelu’s expertise and the TAVR procedure on 11th Feb, 2016. I felt fresh and young,happy and feel strong. Thank you for everything.”
