What is a Tavi?

Tavi, often referred to as TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation), are minimally invasive procedures used to replace a diseased aortic valve in the heart without open-heart surgery. TAVI is typically recommended for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at high risk for conventional surgery. The procedure involves inserting a new valve via a catheter, usually through the femoral artery, allowing for quicker recovery and reduced complications compared to traditional surgery.
