Structural heart interventions refer to a range of minimally invasive procedures designed to treat defects and abnormalities in the heart’s structure, such as valves and septal walls. Common procedures include transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and septal defect closure, both of which can significantly improve patients’ quality of life. Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, these interventions typically require only small incisions, leading to shorter recovery times and less post-operative pain. Patients with conditions like aortic stenosis, mitral valve regurgitation, or atrial septal defects often benefit from these techniques.

 Ultimately, structural heart interventions represent a vital advancement in cardiac care, providing alternatives for patients who may not be candidates for conventional surgery.
