Overview
What is TAVI?
TAVI stands for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation, a minimally invasive medical procedure designed to improve blood flow in the heart by replacing a malfunctioning aortic valve. Also known as Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), both terms refer to the same procedure—the difference lies only in regional preferences: TAVI is commonly used in the UK, while TAVR is more widely used in the USA.
TAVI is often painless and involves inserting a thin, flexible catheter through a blood vessel in the upper leg or chest. This catheter is carefully guided to the heart, where a new valve is placed over the damaged one to restore normal function.
