We at CVSKL proudly marked a significant moment in interventional cardiology as we became the first centre in Asia to perform and broadcast a LithiX IVL case live during TCTAP 2025, one of the premier international conferences for cardiovascular intervention.
This opportunity allowed us to share expertise on a global stage, with the live case streamed from our centre to the main hall featuring our Consultant Cardiologists, Dato’ Dr Tamil Selvan Muthusamy, Datuk Dr Rosli Mohd Ali, Dr Al Fazir Omar and Dr Choo Gim Hooi. Their involvement provided valuable insight and contributed to discussions among international experts.
Severely calcified coronary lesions remain a major challenge in PCI, as hardened plaque can limit the ability of balloons and stents to pass through or expand properly. The LithiX IVL system helps overcome this by delivering targeted pulses of energy to modify the calcium, creating controlled fractures that improve vessel compliance and allow for safer and more effective stent implantation.
The device’s design and mechanism allow for calcium modification with a strong emphasis on safety and ease of use, offering a practical solution for treating complex lesions and potentially improving long-term patient outcomes.
The successful live demonstration highlights our role in adopting advanced cardiovascular technologies and reflects our commitment to enhancing clinical practice and sharing knowledge with the broader interventional cardiology community.
CVSKL remains dedicated to driving progress in cardiac care through innovation, collaboration and the integration of proven technologies.

When we think about Christmas, it’s rarely the presents we remember. It’s the little things. The comfort of being surrounded by the people we love, the tradition of watching a comfort movie for the tenth year in a row because it just doesn’t feel like Christmas without it.
Sometimes it’s the messy parts too. The last-minute wrapping, the crowded living room, the same old jokes we hear every year. But those are the bits that make the season feel real, warm and ours.
So this year, take a moment to enjoy the simple things. The company. The laughter. The memories that stay long after the decorations are packed away.
From all of us at CVSKL we wish you, Merry Christmas!
We have successfully introduced the Aurora EV-ICD, a new-generation implantable defibrillator designed to protect patients from dangerous heart rhythm disturbances.
Unlike conventional devices, this system is placed outside the blood vessels, which means:
* Reduced risk of complications linked to wires inside the veins
* Better preservation of the patient’s blood vessels
* A less invasive approach while delivering life-saving shock therapy when needed
The procedure was performed by our consultant electrophysiologists, Datuk Dr Razali Omar and Dr Zulkeflee Muhammad with Dr Abdul Raqib Abdul Ghani from Serdang Hospital, reflecting CVSKL’s continued commitment to advancing patient-centred cardiovascular care through innovation and expertise.
Because every heartbeat matters.

The Winter Solstice is here, bringing the longest night of the year and a chance to pause and reflect. As the days slowly get longer, it is a good reminder to care for our hearts through rest, small healthy habits, and mindful moments.

Merokok bukan hanya merusak paru-paru, tetapi juga pembuluh darah jantung. Setiap tarikan asap mengandung ribuan zat kimia berbahaya yang mempercepat penyempitan pembuluh darah, meningkatkan tekanan darah, dan membuat jantung bekerja lebih keras. Kondisi ini bisa menyebabkan penyakit jantung koroner, aneurisma aorta, atau stroke.
Berhenti merokok adalah langkah terbaik untuk memulihkan fungsi pembuluh darah, menurunkan risiko serangan jantung, dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup. Setiap usaha untuk berhenti adalah investasi bagi jantung Anda.
Dr Jayakhanthan Kolanthaivelu, Konsultan Ahli Jantung, membagikan wawasan lengkapnya tentang bagaimana merokok merusak jantung dan langkah pencegahannya.
Over the past weekend, we had the pleasure of partnering with MySole Solutions for a three-day free health screening event held in front of Lotus’s at Sunway Wangsawalk Mall. This initiative was close to our hearts, as it aimed to bring essential health services closer to the community and raise awareness about the importance of taking proactive steps for a healthier lifestyle.
Visitors had the chance to engage with our team and learn practical tips on staying active, eating well, and maintaining overall well-being. Many shared their own experiences, asked thoughtful questions, and showed genuine interest in making small changes that could positively impact their health.
A big thank you to our partners, Hospital Picaso, AIA Malaysia, Proform Food and National Cancer Society Malaysia, whose support and dedication made this initiative possible.
Together, we look forward to more initiatives that empower individuals to take charge of their health and embrace a lifestyle that supports long-term well-being.

Launch of Heart to Heart – Memoir of Cardiothoracic Surgeon Yahya Awang
We were truly honoured to be part of the launch of Heart to Heart – Memoir of Cardiothoracic Surgeon Yahya Awang, a heartfelt chronicle celebrating the life, legacy, and remarkable contributions of our Chairman Emeritus, Tan Sri Dato’ Dr Yahya Awang.
The event was made even more special with the presence of Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad, and Tun Dr Hasmah Mohd Ali. It also marked a significant milestone, as Tan Sri Dato’ Dr Yahya Awang was conferred the Degree of Doctor of Laws by Monash University, recognising his lasting impact on medicine and nation-building.
Through stories and reflections on his 45-year career, the memoir gives a rare insight into his dedication, leadership, and unwavering service to patients and the medical community. It also highlights his pivotal role in establishing our hospital and shaping the future of cardiac care in Malaysia.
We are proud to celebrate a legacy that continues to inspire, guide, and influence generations of medical professionals, reminding us all of the profound difference one person’s commitment can make.

When the aortic valve becomes too narrow, even simple routines can feel like uphill work. If climbing stairs, walking further or catching your breath feels harder these days, it might be more than just “getting tired easily.”
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) offers a modern approach without open-heart surgery. The narrowed valve is replaced using a small tube inserted through the leg or chest. With no large incision, patients often experience a more comfortable recovery and gradual improvement in their symptoms.
Our Consultant Cardiologist, Dr Choo Gim Hooi, and the TAVI team are here to guide you through your options with clarity and confidence. We make advanced heart treatment approachable and reassuring at every step.
If you’re exploring what comes next for yourself or a loved one, we’re here to help you make an informed and comfortable decision:
