WHAT IS TAVI / TAVR?
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), alternatively termed transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), is a medical intervention aimed at addressing aortic stenosis—a condition characterized by the constriction of the aortic valve. This constriction impedes the normal blood flow throughout your body, compelling your heart to exert extra effort.

BE INFORMED
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), also known as Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), is a minimally invasive procedure designed to address aortic valve stenosis, a condition where the aortic valve becomes narrowed, hindering the normal flow of blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, TAVI/TAVR involves inserting a replacement valve—often made from animal tissue—through blood vessels, guided to the heart using imaging technology. Once in place, the new valve expands, effectively taking over the function of the diseased valve, and helps restore proper blood flow.
Patients who might opt for TAVI/TAVR are those diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis, a condition where the aortic valve becomes narrowed, restricting blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. People who are considered at high or intermediate risk for complications during open-heart surgery might be recommended for TAVI/TAVR. Additionally, individuals who are not suitable candidates for traditional open-heart surgery due to other health conditions might also opt for this procedure.
TAVI/TAVR involves threading a replacement valve through blood vessels, usually in the groin or chest, guided to the heart using imaging technology. The new valve, often made from animal tissue, is positioned inside the diseased valve and expanded, taking over its function. This helps restore proper blood flow without requiring the chest to be opened as in traditional surgery.
The procedure is done to alleviate symptoms associated with aortic valve stenosis, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue, ultimately improving a patient's quality of life and reducing mortality risk associated with severe aortic stenosis.
