Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement – A Minimally Invasive Cardiac Breakthrough

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Introduction

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure used to replace a narrowed aortic valve that fails to open properly. It is an alternative to open-heart surgery, especially for patients at high risk for surgical complications. A new valve is inserted through a catheter, usually through the leg, and placed inside the damaged valve.

Precise Valve Placement with Minimally Invasive Access

TAVR is done using a catheter inserted through a blood vessel, most commonly via the femoral artery in the groin. The catheter carries a specially designed replacement valve, which is guided to the heart using advanced imaging techniques. Once in position, the new valve is expanded, pushing aside the old valve leaflets and taking over their function. Tools like guidewires, sheaths, balloon catheters, and imaging systems are essential during this procedure. The entire process is performed without opening the chest, reducing recovery time significantly. TAVR provides a life-saving option for patients with severe aortic stenosis who may not tolerate traditional surgery.

Why it’s done?

• Severe aortic stenosis causing symptoms like chest pain, fainting, or shortness of breath
• Patients considered high-risk or too frail for open-heart surgery
• Aortic valve failure in previously implanted bioprosthetic valves (valve-in-valve procedures)
• Reduced heart function due to restricted blood flow from the narrowed aortic valve
