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

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?

All about the TAVI procedure

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

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

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.

What are the pros and cons of using a TAVI?

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. 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.

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.
