95-Year-Old Undergoes Life-Saving Heart Valve Surgery Without Chest Incision

At the age of 95, a woman has successfully undergone a procedure without a chest incision or cardiac arrest

Doctors at Almaty's Multidisciplinary Clinical Hospital performed a high-tech aortic valve replacement on a patient born in 1931.

Aortic stenosis is one of the most common and dangerous heart conditions among the elderly.

In this case, a multidisciplinary team of physicians opted for a minimally invasive procedure.

TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement) is a cutting-edge technique in which a new valve is delivered to the heart via a catheter inserted through the femoral artery.

According to vascular surgeon Arman Sadykov, the operation was a success.

The patient's relatives expressed heartfelt gratitude to the medical team.
