Central Clinical Hospital implanted transcatheter prosthetic aortic heart valves for first time in Azerbaijan

The Central Clinical Hospital has implanted transcatheter prosthetic aortic heart valves for the first time in Azerbaijan.
Chief Physician of the hospital, a heart surgeon Kamran Musayev and his team carried out the operation.
Disease of heart valves is widespread in Azerbaijan. Recently Azerbaijan achieved considerable success in cardiology and cardiovascular surgery and in remedy for the disease of heart valves. Most modern remedy for the disease of heart valves is transcatheter aortic valve implantation called - TAVİ. This method is especially highly effective in treatment of the older people and patients at high risk, as there is a high risk in the classic (open) method of the operation.
According to Kamran Musayev, the operation is carried out in leading countries only for the last decade. In US this operation is carried out since 2007. This method is a gleam of hope, the best alternative for the patients at high risk. “Our patient is a 79 years old woman. Considering her age and other illnesses we decided that the classical surgery will be highly dangerous and decided to make a treatment with TAVI method. After the necessary procedures we operated our patient with TAVI method. I want to note that for carrying out such operations we need a serious infrastructure and training of the staff. We were preparing for such operations at the central clinic for nearly two years. The operations followed these comprehensive training. Such operations are a team work. We were able to make TAVI operation thanks to cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and anesthesiologists. We carried out a successful operation without a need for open operation which needs cardiac arrest and transfer of the patient on cardiopulmonary bypass,” said the heart surgeon.
