TAVI
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is a minimally invasive procedure used to replace a narrowed aortic valve that can no longer open properly. This condition is known as aortic stenosis. Instead of open-heart surgery, TAVI uses a catheter-based approach to insert a new valve, making it a safer option for patients who are elderly or at high surgical risk.
Primary reasons for performing TAVI:
- When the aortic valve becomes stiff and narrow, limiting blood flow and putting extra strain on the heart.
- When elderly patients are experiencing complex health conditions that make traditional surgery too risky.
- When the heart faces chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, or fainting, and is struggling to function effectively etc.
Benefits of TAVI:
- It avoids the need for open-heart surgery.
- It shortens hospital stay and faster recovery.
- It improves the quality of life and heart function.
- It protects you from chest pain, fatigue, and breathlessness.
