TAVR / TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement)
Surgical-free aortic valve replacement without open-heart surgery
A revolutionary catheter-based procedure replacing diseased, calcified aortic valves without open-heart surgery or chest incision.
Treatment Overview & Clinical Rationale
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), also known as TAVI, is a cutting-edge technique for treating severe aortic stenosis. Dr. Sandhu guides a collapsible replacement valve into the diseased heart valve through a small catheter inserted into the femoral artery, deploying a new functioning valve over the damaged one.
Who Needs This Treatment?
- Seniors and adults with severe calcified aortic valve stenosis
- Patients deemed moderate, high, or prohibitive risk for open-heart surgery
- Individuals experiencing severe shortness of breath, dizziness, or chest tightness
- Patients seeking rapid recovery without sternotomy incisions
The Clinical Procedure
Conducted under conscious sedation or light anesthesia. A balloon-expandable or self-expanding prosthetic valve is navigated via catheter to the heart and deployed inside the native aortic valve.
Expected Recovery Timeline
Immediate improvement in blood flow. ICU monitoring for 24 hours, hospital stay typically 2 to 3 days, full activity resumed within 1-2 weeks.

Radial Angioplasty & Stenting
Precision stent placement via the radial artery in the wrist, enabling faster recovery, minimal bleeding risk, and immediate post-procedure mobilization.
Pacemaker & ICD Implantation
Implantation of single, dual, or leadless pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) to correct dangerously slow or erratic heartbeats.
Preventive Cardiac Risk Assessment
Early detection of silent coronary plaque, arterial stiffness, lipid disorders, and metabolic risk factors before heart attacks occur.
