About this Procedure
TAVI (transcatheter aortic valve implantation), also called TAVR, is a way of replacing the aortic valve without open-heart surgery. A new valve is delivered on a thin tube (catheter) through a blood vessel and fixed in place inside the old, damaged valve. The heart does not need to be stopped and the old valve is not removed.
TAVI treats aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the aortic valve that can cause symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath. According to the NHS, it may be recommended when other types of valve surgery are not suitable or could be too high risk, for example because of age or other health problems. The heart team decides who is suitable after reviewing an echocardiogram, CT scan and other tests.
You are usually awake, with a sedative to help you relax and a local anaesthetic. The catheter is passed through a blood vessel in the upper leg, arm or chest to reach the heart, and a biological (tissue) replacement valve is positioned. The NHS states that TAVI usually takes 1 to 2 hours and that people usually spend 2 to 3 days in hospital, with a quicker recovery than open-heart valve surgery.
TAVI is offered at Medwell's partner hospitals in Delhi NCR, including BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi, Fortis Memorial Research Institute and Artemis Hospital in Gurugram, and Fortis Hospital, Noida. Medwell helps you share scans for a heart team review and plan the trip with a companion.
