The first independent heart surgery center in Vietnam
VTV.vn - The first independent Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation heart surgery operation centre in Vietnam was awarded to the Vinmec Central Park International Hospital (HCMC).

The Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation is a complex technique. It's known to have the fewest side effects and complications, especially for older patients and those with medical conditions, with recovery time at just 5-7 days.

Prof. Dr. Vo Thanh Nhan - Dean of the hospital's Cardiology Department was also recognised as the first specialist in Vietnam to utilise the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) technique. Since March 2017, the hospital has performed 31 TAVI operations with a success rate of 100%.
