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.

Key Benefits & Safety Profile

No open-heart surgical incision or cardiopulmonary bypass machine
Dramatically reduced recovery time (days vs. months)
Immediate relief from breathlessness and fatigue
Profound improvement in quality of life for elderly patients

Frequently Asked Questions about TAVR / TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement)

Dr. Sandhu evaluates each patient using multi-detector CT angiography and echocardiogram to determine valve dimensions, anatomical suitability, and safety profile.
Clinical & Pricing Disclaimer: Treatment cost depends on individual diagnostic findings, stent selection, imaging guidance (IVUS/OCT), and stay duration. Request a written personal estimate during your consultation.
