Dr. Sengottuvelu G performed the first successful Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for aortic valve stenosis in Tamil Nadu in 2015

Dr Sengottuvelu & Team performed the first TAVR in the entire Apollo hospitals group in India in 2015. Also performed the first TAVR procedures in in Apollo hospitals in Chennai, Bangalore and Madurai.

First time did a Live demonstration from Apollo group of hospitals in Jan 2018. Subsequently have done several live demonstrations to many meetings.

India’s first Evolut R in Bicuspid Aortic Stenosis 

For the First time in India, Patient gets Next day discharge after valve replacement

First in south India to implant Evolut PRO Valve

First TAVI in India using 20 mm Sapien 3 valve for a patient with small annulus size.

Evolut Pro Valve TAVR in Bicuspid aortic Valve for the  first time in India.

First time in India, Successful TAVI was some using both Carotid and coronary support in an extreme high risk patient

First time in India, successful emergency TAVI was done after in hospital cardiac arrest in a patient with severe AS.

91 -year-old man is one of the India’s oldest high risk patient to undergo a successful TAVR procedure.

First commercial India made Myval in Chennai

He is one among the very few cardiologists in India experienced to perform all types of approved Valves Medtronic- Core valve, Evolut R, Evolut Pro, Edwards- Sapien 3, Meril – MyVal and is involved in training many other cardiologists.

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.

Sentinel – Cerebral Embolic Protection Device

It is indicated for use as a cerebral protection device to capture and remove embolic material while performing transcatheter aortic valve procedures in order to reduce ischemic injury to the brain peri-procedurally.

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.”
