Benefits of TAVI Procedure
TAVI procedure broadly called as trans catheter aortic valve implantation is a minimally 
invasive procedure of heart that is used to replace a thickened a aortic wall that cannot be 
opened fully (aortic valve stenosis). In this procedure an artificial valve is made of natural 
animal heart tissue that is implanted to the heart. The aortic valve is located between the 
lower left heart chamber and the body's Aorta. If there is any condition in which the valve 
does not open properly the blood flow from the heart to the body get reduced. 
TAVI procedure is helpful to restore the flow of blood and to reduce the sign and symptoms 
of aortic valve stenosis that is chest pain shortness of breathing fainting and fatigue.
Why TAVI is done:-
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation if the mean treatment for stenosis of aortic valve, 
which generally occurs when the aortic valve thickens down and become stiff. Transcatheter
 aortic valve implantation is an alternative option for the open Heart attack valve 
replacement surgery.
Doctor generally recommend this procedure if you have-
• Severe aortic stenosis that causes different sign and symptoms in the body. 
• Any problem in the aortic valve because of which it is not working as well as it should.
• Any other health conditions like lung diseases, kidney diseases which can make open 
heart surgery to risky.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is mainly done after the discussion with the team of 
heart surgery specialist trans catheter aortic valve implantation is also called as trans 
catheter aortic valve replacement.
Benefits of TAVI:-
• TAVI is less Invasive then other open heart Surgeries- during any other traditional open 
surgeries there is high risk of more exposure of the heart to the environment because of 
the entire cut on the chest wall but , trans catheter aortic valve implantation is a 
minimally invasive procedure that means in this the catheter is entered by small incisions 
with the help of flexible long tubes and balloons.
• Smaller incisions- since in this procedure the surgeon does not have to open the entire 
just to put the wall there is no need of long incision that can be a risk factor of infection 
trance aortic valve implantation patient experiences less discomfort that makes the 
breathing more comfortable because of this smaller incisions on the body.
• Low risk of 
complications- this 
procedure is less likely 
to cause many of the 
complications that are 
associated with the 
open heart surgery in 
this procedure the 
patients heart does not 
stop and does not have 
to be put on the cardio 
pulmonary bypass 
machine this eliminates 
one potential area in 
which things can go 
awry, hence this 
procedure carries low 
blood loss risk during 
the surgery or even 
after the surgery.
• Promotes faster healing- as it is a invasive procedure that means shorter healing period 
since there is no or less trauma to the structure of the chest and due to smaller incisions 
the patient who undergoes this procedure experience less procedure then the other wall 
replacement surgeries this procedure helps the patient experience less pain and 
promotes faster healing.
Risks:-
Any of the surgeries or medical procedures that are related to heart come with some type of 
risks some of the potential risk of trans catheter aortic valve implantation may include- 
• Excessive bleeding 
• Bloood vessel complications 
• Stroke
• Heart attack 
• Infection 
• Arrythmias
All of this risk factors are similar among the people who have past history of any other 
pathological medical issues.
