BTIH Karachi Becomes the 3rd Private Hospital in Sindh to Achieve This Historic Milestone
BTIH Lahore Leads the Way with 27 TAVI Procedures Since 2018
Karachi, January 6, 2025 – Bahria Town International Hospital (BTIH) Karachi has achieved a historic breakthrough by successfully performing its first-ever Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) procedure. This advanced cardiac procedure was carried out on January 2, 2025, by renowned Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Yasir Pracha, cementing BTIH Karachi’s position as a leader in innovative cardiovascular care.
With this milestone, BTIH Karachi has become the third private hospital and fifth overall in Sindh to offer TAVI, a revolutionary treatment for patients with Aortic Stenosis. Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, the TAVI procedure is minimally invasive, replacing damaged aortic valves with significantly reduced recovery time and lower risks of complications.
BTIH Karachi follows the success of Bahria Town International Hospital Lahore, which has been performing TAVI procedures since 2018 and has completed 27 successful cases to date.
A New Era of Advanced Cardiac Care
The successful completion of this procedure at BTIH Karachi highlights the hospital’s dedication to introducing cutting-edge medical technologies that enhance patient outcomes.
“We are proud to bring this groundbreaking procedure to BTIH Karachi, enabling us to offer advanced cardiac treatments that prioritize patient well-being,” said Dr. Yasir Pracha. “Our mission is to provide minimally invasive solutions that improve recovery and elevate the quality of life for our patients.”
A Commitment to Excellence
This achievement is a testament to BTIH Karachi’s commitment to providing world-class healthcare. The hospital continues to expand its services to meet the needs of the Bahria Town community, nearby villages, and patients from across Karachi, Sindh, and Balochistan.
By introducing TAVI to its extensive range of medical procedures, BTIH Karachi reinforces its role as a pioneer in cardiovascular care and a trusted destination for innovative and compassionate healthcare solutions.
