All about the TAVI procedure
Implantation of a Transcatheter Aortic Valve
(TAVI) It's a procedure for repairing an aortic
valve that's been damaged. You will have an
artificial heart valve made of natural animal
heart tissue installed during a TAVI operation.
What's the point of getting a TAVI?
If you have a problem with your aortic valve and
are at high risk for open-heart surgery, your
doctor may consider a TAVI operation. One of the
heart's four primary valves is the aortic valve,
also known as the tricuspid valve. Blood flows
from your heart to the rest of your body in one
way while your heart beats.
What is the procedure for a TAVI?

• A general or local anesthetic will be
  administered before your TAVI operation, which
  will take 1-2 hours on average.

• A catheter (a hollow tube with a balloon at its
  tip) is placed into an artery in either the groin
  or under the collarbone.

• Once the catheter is in place in your heart, the
  aortic valve is closed, and the procedure is
  complete.

• The balloon is gently inflated and deflated to
  make room for the new tissue valve.

• Depending on the type of valve utilized, the
  replacement valve will either self-expand or
  employ a balloon.

• Before the balloon and catheter are removed, the
  balloon is deflated.

• Your broken valve has been replaced with a new
  valve.

• In this method, you can introduce a catheter with
  a balloon on the tip directly into the left
  bottom chamber of your heart (the left ventricle)
  and across the constricted valve. Transapical
  approaches, as they are known, are rare.

What are the pros and cons of using a TAVI?

• If you have other health conditions and are
  weaker, you may be offered a TAVI instead of
  open-heart surgery. Before the procedure, your
  cardiologist should review your risks and
  advantages.

• For people with shortness of breath and chest
  pain, a TAVI surgery can help alleviate these
  symptoms and minimize the risk for heart failure
  and mortality.

• Similar to valve replacement, TAVI may result in
  problems (worn-out valve, blood clots, irregular
  heart rhythm). TAVI patients are more likely to
  suffer a stroke.

• Endocarditis can strike anyone with a compromised
  heart valve or surgery. You're in danger if
  you've ever had endocarditis. An infection of the
  heart's inner lining, known as endocarditis, is
  rare. The cardiac valves are the most general
  area where this occurs.
