 and Dr. Ranjan Shetty, Interventional Cardiologist in Manipal Hospital, Bangalore. Iotic stenosis is a common problem in elderly where the valve becomes very small. Earlier there was only one treatment option which was an open-art surgery where the chest needs to be opened in the cardiopulmonary bypass or bypass machine and the valve needs to be closed. This is a disease of elderly mostly involving people above 70 or above about 80 years. These people have lots of complications for surgery. In older days there was only one option that was a major heart surgery. But now there is a pertinence option called tapping. In tapping what is done is it's like angiogram so you go from the leg and you replace the valve even without doing any cooperation. Hence it is much much less invasive and the recovery time is very quick for this patient.
