What it is?
TAVI is a minimally invasive procedure used to replace a narrowed aortic valve without open-heart surgery.
How it’s done
A catheter is inserted through an artery in the groin or chest, guiding the new valve into place within the old, damaged valve.
What are the benefits?
- Suitable for high-risk patients
- Quick recovery compared to open-heart surgery
- Improves symptoms like breathlessness and fatigue
What are the risks and how to avoid them?
- Stroke, bleeding, or valve leakage (rare)
- Infection at the access site
Risk reduction: Expert procedural skills and thorough pre-procedure evaluation minimize risks.
