Also around the same time, various iterations of existing transcatheter heart valves and newly launched valves were made available for human use in India. This article highlights salient features of all the commercially available transcatheter heart valves in India. The article also provides a narrative to help a cardiologist choose a particular valve that would best suit the patient taking into account the valve design characteristics and features.
