TAVI Helps Patients not Eligible for Open-Heart Surgery
The program will allow 25 patients to receive the TAVI procedure each year. Since the first procedures were performed on February 28, 2017, there have been 11 patients who received the treatment in Saskatchewan.
“It is so important this procedure is available to patients here in the province,” Regina cardiologist Dr. Jeff Booker said. “A lot of work has gone into setting up the program and it’s been amazing working together and watching the team grow.”
“Our teams in both cities have shown tremendous passion and hard work, working together to transform the way we serve our patients,” Saskatoon cardiologist Dr. Rashpal Basran said. “I’m excited for all the future patients and families and the province of Saskatchewan.”
“This makes an incredible difference for our patients,” TAVI Program Co-ordinator Lucia Parsons said. “They are able to receive care sooner, and travel is greatly reduced. The expressions of gratitude from patients and their family members confirms the value of establishing this program in Saskatchewan.”
