Home/Cardiac Intervention Procedures/Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI/TAVR)

TAVI, also known as TAVR, is a revolutionary procedure that replaces a diseased aortic valve through a small catheter rather than open-heart surgery. It is ideal for patients at high surgical risk and provides rapid recovery, restoring valve function and improving heart performance with minimal discomfort and shorter hospital stay.

FAQ

Determining if you need heart surgery typically involves a comprehensive evaluation by a cardiac specialist. Common indicators include persistent chest pain, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, or symptoms that don't improve with medication. Your doctor will review your medical history, perform diagnostic tests such as echocardiograms or cardiac catheterization, and assess the severity of your condition. Surgery may be recommended if your heart condition is severe, progressive, or poses significant health risks that cannot be managed through non-surgical treatments.
