secretary@gopalamurugan.com +91 80560 88898 Scan QR Code I presented this lecture at India CTO 2023 and in it I share my personal approach to complex lesion preparation — when to choose laser, rotablation, orbital atherectomy or intravascular lithotripsy. In this article I outline real-case examples, explain the rationale behind choosing one device over another, and provide practical procedural end points that guide […]

For decades, patients diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis faced only one treatment option – open-heart valve replacement surgery. While effective, the procedure involved cutting open the chest, putting the patient on a heart-lung bypass machine, and a long recovery period. For elderly patients or those with multiple medical conditions, open-heart surgery often carried very high […]

Heart diseases are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and India is no exception. While many cardiac conditions are treatable with medicines, stents, or surgery, some conditions require cutting-edge innovations. One such condition is Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM), where the heart muscle becomes abnormally thickened, particularly the septum (the wall between the […]

Introduction – A Game-Changer for Heart Valve Replacement in India Heart valve disease, particularly severe aortic stenosis, has long posed a significant health challenge in India. Traditionally, open-heart surgery was the gold standard for valve replacement, but not all patients—especially those with bicuspid aortic valves, high surgical risks, or multiple comorbidities—could undergo such an invasive […]

In February 2022, Dr. A B Gopalamurugan, one of India’s best interventional cardiologists and valve specialists, successfully performed India’s first Mitral Valve Replacement using a MITRIS valve on a 38-year-old patient with advanced mitral valve failure. This cutting-edge valve technology is a game-changer — offering longer durability, eliminating the need for lifelong blood thinners, and […]

Heart disease is changing — and so is how we treat it. One of the most promising breakthroughs for patients with leaking heart valves is Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER) for Mitral Valve Repair. No longer do you need to undergo open-heart surgery to fix a leaking mitral valve. With TEER, patients can walk home within […]
Read MoreIntroduction: Redefining Heart Care in India Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of mortality in India, and the need for advanced, minimally invasive treatments has never been greater. One such breakthrough in cardiac care is Laser Angioplasty—a technique that uses laser energy to open blocked coronary arteries, offering a safer and often more effective alternative […]
