Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation, often referred to as TAVI, is a minimally invasive technique that involves inserting a replacement valve into your heart. TAVI is also known as TAVR, which stands for transcatheter aortic valve replacement. TAVI procedures are currently a recognized and effective treatment for individuals with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis, and it is a viable alternative to surgery in some high-risk patients who cannot be operated on.
