What is TAVI?

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive procedure designed to repair damaged heart valves without open-heart surgery. A replacement valve is guided carefully via a catheter and wedged directly into the natural valve’s place, instantly restoring robust cardiovascular function.

💡 TAVI is also known as TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement). Both terms describe the exact same advanced, catheter-based therapeutic procedure.

Who May Need TAVI?

Severe aortic stenosis can drastically impact your quality of life. If you or a loved one are experiencing these symptoms, you may be a candidate for this advanced, minimally invasive heart procedure.

Breathlessness

Experiencing shortness of breath during daily routines, simple walks, or even while lying flat in bed.

Chest Pain

A feeling of pressure, tightness, or squeezing pain in your chest (angina) that often worsens with activity.

Fatigue

Feeling persistently exhausted and unable to complete normal activities, despite having adequate rest.

Dizziness

Feeling lightheaded, dizzy, or experiencing sudden blackouts or fainting spells during mild exertion.

Reduced Exercise Capacity

A noticeable drop in your ability to perform sports, workouts, or simple physical tasks that used to be easy.

Swelling in Legs

Fluid buildup causing noticeable swelling (edema) in your ankles, feet, or lower legs due to reduced heart output.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear, professional insights about Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) from Dr. Kiran.

What does TAVI stand for?

TAVI stands for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation. It is a highly advanced, minimally invasive cardiac procedure designed to replace a narrowed or stenotic aortic valve without the need for traditional open-heart surgery.

Is TAVI the same as TAVR?

Yes, TAVI and TAVR are identical procedures. TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) is the standard medical term preferred in Europe, Australia, and Asia, whereas TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) is more commonly used in North America.

Who may need TAVI?

TAVI is primarily recommended for patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis who are deemed at intermediate, high, or extreme risk for conventional open-heart surgery due to advanced age, frailty, or multiple co-existing medical conditions.

Is TAVI suitable for everyone?

While TAVI is highly effective, it is not suitable for everyone. Eligibility depends on your specific anatomical feasibility, femoral artery sizes, and overall health status. Our multidisciplinary Heart Team conducts an exhaustive pre-procedural assessment to choose the optimal path.

What tests are required?

Key pre-procedural diagnostic tests include a specialized high-resolution cardiac CT scan (TAVI protocol), an echocardiogram to measure valve hemodynamics, a coronary angiogram to check for blockages, and comprehensive blood panels.

Is TAVI minimally invasive?

Absolutely. TAVI is minimally invasive because it avoids a sternotomy (opening the chest bone) and cardiopulmonary bypass (heart-lung machine). Instead, the new valve is compressed and guided into place using a small catheter, usually through the groin.

Can older patients undergo TAVI?

Yes, elderly patients frequently undergo TAVI with excellent clinical outcomes. Because it is minimally invasive, TAVI dramatically reduces physical trauma, lowers procedural risks, and allows for a rapid recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Can I get a second opinion?

Seeking a second opinion is a standard and highly encouraged practice in advanced cardiac care. Dr. Kiran and our specialized Heart Team provide thorough, objective evaluations of your existing tests to ensure you make the most secure clinical choice.
