Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a revolutionary approach to treating aortic valve stenosis. Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, TAVI/TAVR involves the use of catheters to deliver and position a new valve within the existing one. This minimally invasive procedure has two primary techniques: transfemoral and transapical.

5. BENEFITS OF TAVI / TAVR
Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions, reduced trauma, and shorter recovery periods.
High-Risk Patients: Suitable for patients deemed high-risk or ineligible for open-heart
surgery.
Anesthesia Flexibility: General anesthesia is not always required, allowing
personalized care.
Shorter Hospital Stay: Typically leads to a shorter post-procedure hospitalization.
Faster Return to Activities: Patients can resume their daily routines sooner, enhancing
their quality of life.

6. TAVI / TAVR FAQS
Who is a Candidate for TAVI/TAVR?
How is TAVI/TAVR Performed?
What Type of Anesthesia is Used?
TAVI/TAVR is recommended for individuals with severe aortic stenosis, particularly those at
high risk for conventional surgery.
TAVI/TAVR involves inserting a catheter either through the femoral artery or a small chest
incision to deploy the new valve.
The choice of anesthesia (local with sedation or general) depends on the patient's overall
health and medical team's assessment.
7. TAVI / TAVR FAQS
What is the Recovery Time?
Are There Any Risks?
Recovery from TAVI/TAVR is typically quicker than traditional surgery, enabling patients to
resume normal activities sooner.
While risks are associated with any medical procedure, TAVI/TAVR's minimally invasive
approach reduces several complications often linked to open-heart surgery.
