What Is Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement?

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is performed through the femoral artery into the interventional catheter, and the artificial heart valve is delivered to the aortic valve area to open, thereby completing the artificial valve placement and restoring valve function. There is no need to open the chest for surgery, so the trauma is small and the postoperative recovery is fast. Implemented by an experienced cardiovascular physician.

With our country

In recent years, the development of TAVI technology has made rapid progress. This operation has been carried out in more than 30 countries around the world, and nearly 20,000 patients have undergone this procedure.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is the third mode after surgical aortic valve replacement and drug treatment, because it uses minimally invasive cardiac catheter technology, no need to open the chest, minimal trauma, short operation time, and fast recovery Characteristics, for those patients with aortic valve stenosis whose current conventional treatment methods can not prolong their life or relieve their pain, this after all provides a new solution and is expected to achieve better results.

With the development of science, further improvement of medical equipment and operation technology, and deeper research on related mechanisms, minimally invasive transcatheter aortic valve implantation will surely be better applied in the clinic and will also make more valve diseases The patient benefits.
