How Catheter Works in TAVI Surgery ? TAVI/TAVR
Surgery in India has gained immense popularity
especially in the last decade due to its very
high success rate and shorter recovery period.
Both, transcatheter aortic valve implantation and
transcatheter aortic valve replacement. GURGAON,
India - Sept. 12, 2018 - PRLog -- Heart is an
extremely sensitive organ that performs the
function of pumping blood throughout the body
with the help of various blood channels that
include veins arteries and blood vessels. The
heart along with all these blood channels is
responsible for the flow of oxygenated blood
from the lungs to various different parts of the
body and also carries deoxygenated blood from
these different body parts back to the lungs
where it is again loaded with oxygen. This cycle
continues as long as a person is alive and is
very important for our survival. Human heart has
four valves and these are responsible for the
flow of blood in one direction. The valves play a
very important role in the continuous
circulation of blood by preventing its backward
flow. Since the heart is very sensitive it is
vulnerable to a large number of problems that may
either be hereditary or developed later in life
due to unhealthy Lifestyle practices. One such
problem is aortic valve stenosis. The problem is
caused by the excessive accumulation of the
various impurities present in the blood on the
walls of the valve, that results in blockage and
prevents the free flow of blood. These impurities
are known as plaque and major consist of
unwanted fat, cholesterol and salt particles
which are extremely harmful for the
heart. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation
or transcatheter aortic valve replacement, as the
name suggests, involves the use of a catheter
which is a narrow tube like instrument fixed with
a balloon on one end. The new artificially
created valve is placed inside this catheter. The
surgical procedure is very simple. The patient
is first made unconscious by the use of general
anaesthesia and this is followed by a making a
very small incision near the groin or on the
side of the chest. Instead of the incision, 2 to
4 small holes can also be made. The catheter is
passed inside the patients body via this
incision. The whole procedure is carefully
monitored with the help of a microscopic camera
that is introduced inside the patient's body. The
camera generates live pictures on a screen which
help to determine the exact position of the
damage valve and help in placing the new valve
very precisely and accurately. The catheter is
then moved slowly towards the affected valve and
once it is in position, the balloon is inflated
to push the walls of the damaged valve in order
to pave way for the placement of new valve. After
the procedure the patient is to be kept under
observation for sometime and is then free to go.
The patient may also be prescribed certain
medications to be taken for avoiding infections
and speeding up the recovery procedure. The
patient should abstain from smoking and drinking
as these may drastically affect his health.
Although exercising is very important but the
patient should refrain from doing rigorous
exercises for some days. More Info-

ortic valve stenosis can be caused by number of
factors like obesity, old age, high cholesterol,
stagnant and unhealthy lifestyle and prevailing
medical conditions. Hence it becomes very
important to lead a Healthy lifestyle and be
aware of the various factors that can lead to
aortic stenosis and refrain from these. Frequent
visits to the cardiologist are very important to
ensure that there are no complications.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation and
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement are not as
popular as open heart surgery as these
procedures are quite new but they are gaining
popularity at a very high pace owing to the fact
that the traditional open heart surgery involves
very large incisions that tend to develop
infections if not taken care of properly. The
recovery period in case of an open heart surgery
is also very long and the patient has to remain
bedridden for quite a long time. Open heart
surgery is also involve a lot of blood loss due
to which these are not considered to be suitable
for patients suffering from anaemia, high blood
pressure and diabetes. Transcatheter aortic
valve implantation or transcatheter aortic valve
replacement are minimally invasive medical
procedures used for the treatment of aortic
stenosis. The problem has become very common
nowadays due to unhealthy Lifestyle practices and
if left untreated can prove to be very fatal. The
surgical procedure is carried with the help of
catheter which is introduced inside the patient's
body. TAVI/TAVR Surgery in India has gained
immense popularity especially in the last decade
due to its very high success rate and shorter
recovery period. Both, transcatheter aortic valve
implantation and transcatheter aortic valve
replacement target the affected valve. The
catheter used during the procedure is fitted with
a balloon. These are the best substitute for
open heart surgeries which are quiet complicated
and expensive. The procedure is available in all
the leading hospitals of India including HVT
Hospital. The hospital brings to your service a
team of some of the leading cardiovascular
surgeon in India who have been acknowledged
worldwide for deficiency. Dr. Amit Kumar
