Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>TUCSON, Ariz. (KVOA) – Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital\u2019s Structural Heart Team traveled to Mauritius, a country in East Africa that is an island off the coast of Madagascar, to perform four TAVR procedures.<\/p>\n

The team was led by Dr. Kapildeo Lotun, who is from Mauritius. These four life-saving heart TAVRS were the first times this procedure has been performed in Mauritius.<\/p>\n

Lotun. The TAVR procedure, or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, is used to treat heart valve disease. The procedure is less invasive than traditional open-heart surgery, resulting in a quicker recovery time for patients.<\/p>\n
