TAVI Surgery: The Modern Solution for Aortic Valve Stenosis Without Open-Heart Surgery
What is TAVI?
TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) is a breakthrough, minimally invasive procedure to treat aortic valve stenosis.
Instead of opening the chest with traditional surgery, doctors replace the damaged valve through a catheter, making it safer and less risky—especially for elderly patients and those who are not candidates for open-heart surgery.
Benefits of TAVI
-
Safe alternative for high-risk patients.
-
Shorter procedure time.
-
Reduced hospital stay.
-
Faster recovery and return to daily life.
-
High global success rates.
Who is a Candidate for TAVI?
-
Patients with severe aortic valve stenosis.
-
Elderly patients or those with chronic health conditions making surgery too risky.
-
Patients evaluated by the heart team and confirmed as suitable for TAVI.
How TAVI is Performed
-
Comprehensive assessment (blood tests, echocardiogram, CT scan).
-
Inserting a catheter through the femoral or radial artery.
-
Implanting the artificial valve inside the damaged aortic valve.
-
Monitoring the patient closely after the procedure.
Possible Risks
Although TAVI is considered very safe, like any medical procedure, it may carry some risks such as:
-
Bleeding.
-
Blood clots.
-
Irregular heart rhythms.
However, success rates are very high and continue to improve with medical expertise.
