Chennai hospital uses new anchored valve for leaky aortic valve

Kauvery Hospital in Alwarpet, Chennai, treated a 63-year-old man with aortic regurgitation through TAVR using the HANCHOR valve, which has a nitinol anchor to hold it in place. The patient had earlier undergone mitral valve replacement. He was discharged three days after the minimally invasive procedure, said cardiologist Rajaram Anantharaman.
