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.
π No need to remove the old valve
π New valve expands and takes over blood flow regulation
How βValve-in-Valveβ 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
π This is called βValve-within-Valveβ technology
TAVR vs Open Heart Valve Surgery
| Feature | TAVR / TAVI | Open Surgery |
|---|---|---|
| Incision | Small / No chest opening | Large chest incision |
| Recovery | Fast (3β5 days hospital stay) | Long recovery |
| Pain | Minimal | More |
| Risk | Lower in high-risk patients | Higher in elderly/comorbid |
Who is TAVR Ideal For?
β Elderly patients (70+ years)
β Severe Aortic Stenosis
β Patients unfit for open heart surgery
β Multiple medical conditions (diabetes, lung disease, etc.)
β 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
β± Procedure Time: 1β2 hours
π₯ Hospital Stay: 3β5 days
Benefits of TAVR
β No open heart surgery
β Faster recovery & early mobility
β Reduced hospital stay
β Improved breathing & energy levels
β Better quality of life
