Providing advanced cardiology care with modern diagnostic technology and expert treatment. Our mission is to deliver compassionate heart care, focusing on prevention, accurate diagnosis, and minimally invasive cardiac therapies for better long-term health.
In another historic medical breakthrough for cardiovascular medicine, Dr. X. Rufus Demel has successfully performed South Tamil Nadu’s first-ever Atrial Flow Regulator (AFR) device implantation. The Atrial Flow Regulator is an advanced structural heart therapy designed to establish a calibrated interatrial shunt, alleviating dangerously high intracardiac pressures in patients suffering from severe heart failure or severe pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Using a minimally invasive transcatheter approach through the femoral vein, the self-expanding nitinol AFR device is guided into the interatrial septum under continuous fluoroscopic and echocardiographic imaging. By creating a controlled, precise communication between the left and right atria, the device relieves left atrial hypertension and prevents debilitating pulmonary congestion without the trauma of open-heart surgery, offering renewed hope and enhanced quality of life for patients with refractory cardiac conditions.
