Kauvery Hospital in Chennai successfully completed a combined MitraClip mitral valve repair and left atrial appendage closure in one session.
The procedure was performed on a 79‑year‑old high‑risk patient with severe mitral regurgitation, atrial fibrillation and prior transient stroke.
Both interventions used the same catheter access and anesthesia, reducing procedural risk, hospital stay and enabling discharge within 48 hours.
Hospital executives highlighted the approach’s precision, faster recovery and its role in bringing advanced cardiac care closer to the community.
