Aortic stenosis is a common disease where one of the heart valves narrows, restricting the flow of blood into the body. When it gets bad enough, the diseased valve often needs to be replaced.
Compared to traditional open-heart surgery, TAVI is far less invasive.
TAVR, or TAVI, is a heart valve replacement that can be implanted without open heart surgery.
The procedure is called either transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve implantation(TAVI).
Cardiologists compress an artificial valve into a tiny package on the end of a thin, flexible tube called a catheter. They feed the tube through a small incision, usually in the leg, then tread it through blood vessels until it enters the leaky valve. The replacement pops open and takes over the job of letting blood out of the heart.
