TAVR / TAVI Centre – Advanced Valve Replacement Without Open Surgery

Overview

The TAVR / TAVI Centre at ONUS Robotic Hospitals offers next-generation, minimally invasive aortic valve replacement, designed for patients who are high-risk for open heart surgery.

This breakthrough procedure allows valve replacement without opening the chest, ensuring faster recovery, less pain, and improved quality of life.

What is TAVR / TAVI?

TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) or
TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) is a procedure where a new valve is placed inside the damaged aortic valve using a catheter.

πŸ‘‰ No need to remove the old valve
πŸ‘‰ New valve expands and takes over blood flow regulation


How β€œValve-in-Valve” Technology Works

The replacement valve is:

β€’ Delivered through a thin catheter
β€’ Positioned inside the diseased valve
β€’ Expanded to push old valve aside
β€’ Immediately starts functioning

πŸ‘‰ This is called β€œValve-within-Valve” technology


TAVR vs Open Heart Valve Surgery

Feature TAVR / TAVI Open Surgery
Incision Small / No chest opening Large chest incision
Recovery Fast (3–5 days hospital stay) Long recovery
Pain Minimal More
Risk Lower in high-risk patients Higher in elderly/comorbid

Who is TAVR Ideal For?

βœ” Elderly patients (70+ years)
βœ” Severe Aortic Stenosis
βœ” Patients unfit for open heart surgery
βœ” Multiple medical conditions (diabetes, lung disease, etc.)
βœ” High surgical risk cases


How the Procedure is Done

Two main approaches:

1. Transfemoral (Most Common)

β€’ Through artery in the groin
β€’ No chest incision

2. Transapical (Minimally Invasive)

β€’ Small incision in chest
β€’ Direct access to heart

⏱ Procedure Time: 1–2 hours
πŸ₯ Hospital Stay: 3–5 days


Benefits of TAVR

βœ” No open heart surgery
βœ” Faster recovery & early mobility
βœ” Reduced hospital stay
βœ” Improved breathing & energy levels
βœ” Better quality of life


Are There Risks?

Like any procedure, TAVR has risks, but:

πŸ‘‰ It is life-saving for high-risk patients
πŸ‘‰ Significantly safer than open surgery in selected cases
