TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) Treatment in India

TAVI (transcatheter aortic valve implantation) is a minimally invasive procedure that replaces a narrowed aortic valve without open-heart surgery. A new valve is delivered through a catheter, usually via an artery in the leg, and expanded into place inside the diseased valve. TAVI offers a safer alternative to traditional valve surgery for many patients, especially those at higher surgical risk, with faster recovery and shorter hospital stays.

• Shortness of breath during activity or at rest
• Chest pain or tightness
• Fatigue and reduced exercise tolerance
• Fainting or lightheadedness
• Swelling in the ankles or feet
• Rapid or irregular heartbeat

TAVI is typically recommended for patients with severe aortic valve stenosis who are at intermediate to high risk for open-heart surgery, or who prefer a less invasive option. Your cardiac team will evaluate valve severity, overall health, and surgical risk through echocardiography and imaging before recommending TAVI.

• Performed under local or general anesthesia
• A catheter carrying the new valve is inserted through an artery, usually in the leg
• Guided to the heart using live imaging
• The new valve is expanded inside the diseased valve, restoring normal blood flow
• Procedure typically takes 1-2 hours

• 2-4 days hospital stay in most cases
• Significantly shorter recovery than open valve surgery
• Most patients resume light activity within 1-2 weeks
• Follow-up echocardiogram to confirm valve function
• Full recovery typically within 3-4 weeks

• Structural heart specialists experienced in TAVI procedures
• Advanced hybrid cath labs with on-site surgical backup
• Faster recovery compared to open-heart valve surgery
• Transparent, all-inclusive package pricing
• Complete coordination for international patients, from consultation to follow-up
