TAVR- Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
A "sternotomy," in which the chest is surgically divided (opened) for the procedure, is typically required for valve replacement. All of the chest bones can remain in place when the TAVR or TAVI procedures are performed through extremely small incisions. There are two methods that can be used. Using a minimally invasive surgical approach with a small chest incision and entering through a large artery in the chest or through the tip of the left ventricle (the apex), which is known as the transapical approach, or through the femoral artery (large artery in the groyne), the transfemoral approach, which does not require a surgical incision in the chest.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Hepatic Regeneration After Hepatectomy
Hepatic regeneration after hepatectomy is a dynamic process where the liver rapidly repairs and regenerates its tissue by activating hepatocytes and liver progenitor cells. This regenerative ability is essential for restoring liver function and maintaining homeostasis following partial liver resection or injury.
Fluorescence Guided Breast Cancer Surgery
Fluorescence-guided breast cancer surgery uses fluorescent dyes, such as indocyanine green (ICG), to illuminate cancerous tissues and lymph nodes, aiding surgeons in precisely identifying and removing tumors. This technique improves surgical outcomes by enhancing the visualization of cancerous areas, reducing the chances of leaving residual cancer cells behind.
