Overview
What is TAVI?
TAVI stands for transcatheter aortic valve implantation, a medical procedure aimed at enhancing blood flow in the heart by replacing a dysfunctional aortic valve.Alternatively known as transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), TAVI and TAVR refer to the same procedure with no distinction, albeit differing in terminology usage across regions; TAVI is prevalent in the UK, while TAVR is more common in the USA.
TAVI, often painless, involves the insertion of a slender, flexible tube (catheter) into a blood vessel in the upper leg or chest, guiding it toward the aortic valve in the heart, where it positions a replacement valve over the existing one.To undergo the TAVI procedure in Jaipur, you can schedule an appointment with Dr. Rudra Dev Pandey, an Interventional Cardiologist.
