Other Structural Heart Procedures
In addition to specific interventions such as septal defect closure and valve repair, CardioOne provides access to a broad range of structural heart procedures tailored to each patient’s anatomy and condition. These procedures use minimally invasive techniques to repair or modify cardiac structures without the need for open surgery.
Examples of Structural Heart Interventions
Depending on clinical need, structural procedures may include:
- Closure of residual or complex cardiac defects
- Valve-in-valve or valve-in-ring procedures for previously replaced valves
- Repair of abnormal shunts or leaks
- Catheter-based management of congenital heart abnormalities
All procedures are performed in dedicated cardiac catheterisation laboratories using fluoroscopy and echocardiographic imaging for precision.
Procedure and Recovery
Structural interventions are performed under general anaesthesia. Most patients are monitored overnight and discharged within one to two days.
Follow-up includes echocardiographic evaluation to confirm success and monitor ongoing heart performance.
Long-Term Outlook
Minimally invasive techniques allow faster recovery, reduced discomfort, and lower procedural risk. Long-term outcomes depend on the underlying condition, but most patients experience significant improvements in heart function and quality of life.
