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.

5

• 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.

6

• 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.
