Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)

Transcatheter aortic-valve implantation (TAVI) is an innovative procedure involving the insertion of a bioprosthetic valve through a catheter, which is then implanted within the diseased native aortic valve.

This procedure was first performed in 2002, and since then, it has gained widespread acceptance for treating severe aortic stenosis in patients at high surgical risk around the world. In India, this treatment option has attracted both domestic and international patients.

Steps 2 Cure, with a panel of top cardiologists in the country, offers patients a successful and cost-effective choice for TAVI.

Symptoms

Factors making TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) more likely to be recommended than SAVR (Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement) include conditions that would increase the risk of traditional open-heart aortic valve replacement surgery such as:

Older age
Frailty
Weakened heart
Previous heart surgery
History of stroke
Chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD)
Liver disease
Kidney disease
Diabetes
Previous radiation treatment to your chest
Large calcium deposits in the blood vessel that carries blood away from your heart (ascending aorta), called porcelain aorta

When to access Medical Care

This procedure works just fine for patients with severe aortic stenosis and cardiac symptoms for whom conventional surgery to replace the aortic valve was associated with high risk. TAVR can be an effective option to improve the quality of life in patients who otherwise have limited choices for the repair of their aortic valves.

TAVI is available for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis in all risk categories (low, intermediate, or high) for standard open-heart valve replacement surgery. The risk level is based on the chance of not surviving surgery. Low risk is less than a 4% chance of not surviving. Intermediate risk is 4% or higher and high risk is 8% or higher. TAVI can be an effective option to improve the quality of life in patients who otherwise have limited choices for the repair of their aortic valve.

Determinants of risk

Risk factors associated with fibromyalgia comprise:

Gender: Fibromyalgia is more frequently diagnosed in women than in men.
Family history: Having a parent or sibling with the condition may increase your likelihood of developing fibromyalgia.
Other underlying disorders: Conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or lupus could raise the risk of developing fibromyalgia.

Recovery process

Recovery duration varies, contingent on factors like patient characteristics, chosen procedure, and the extent of severity.
