Are you suffering from aortic stenosis and dreading the thought of open-heart surgery? You’re not alone. Many patients with this heart condition seek less invasive alternatives. Experience world-class TAVI treatment with Dr. Prem Ratan Degawat, the leading TAVI Expert in Haryana.
What is TAVI/ TAVR?
TAVI is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat aortic stenosis, a heart condition where the aortic valve narrows, restricting blood flow. Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, TAVI involves inserting a new aortic valve through a small incision in the blood vessel, reducing recovery time and risks associated with major surgery.
Benefits of TAVI
- Less invasive than open-heart surgery
- Shorter hospital stay and recovery time
- Reduced risk of complications
- Improved quality of life
TAVI Procedure and Recovery
The TAVI procedure is typically performed in a catheterization laboratory under local anesthesia. A small incision is made in the groin or chest to access the blood vessel leading to the heart. A catheter with a new aortic valve is then guided to the heart, where the old valve is replaced.
Recovery time varies depending on individual factors, but patients generally experience a shorter hospital stay compared to open-heart surgery. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks.
Who is a Candidate for TAVI?
TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) is typically recommended for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are considered high-risk for traditional open-heart surgery.
Common Patient Profiles:
- Elderly patients: Often have multiple comorbidities making open-heart surgery too risky.
- Patients with significant medical conditions: Such as lung disease, kidney disease, or severe diabetes.
- Patients with previous chest surgeries: Making open-heart surgery challenging.
- Patients with frailty or reduced functional status: Who may not tolerate open-heart surgery well.
It’s important to note that TAVI candidacy is determined by a multidisciplinary heart team that includes cardiologists, and cardiac surgeons. Each patient’s case is evaluated individually to assess suitability for the procedure.
