Introduction:
Cardiovascular diseases hold a significant place among the leading causes of death worldwide. Among these diseases, heart valve disorders are common conditions that require treatment. Aortic valve stenosis is a cardiac valve disease characterized by the narrowing of the aortic valve. In recent years, Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a successful minimal invasive treatment option for aortic valve diseases, replacing the need for traditional open-heart surgery.

What is TAVI?
TAVI, an acronym for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation, is a minimal invasive surgical procedure used for the treatment of aortic valve diseases. This method is considered an effective alternative to traditional open-heart surgery. TAVI offers advantages such as reduced invasiveness, faster recovery, and lower risk of complications compared to conventional approaches.

How is TAVI Performed?
TAVI is typically performed using a catheter inserted through the groin region. The procedure is often carried out under local anesthesia, eliminating the need for general anesthesia. The catheter delivers a bioprosthetic valve mounted on a balloon to the aorta. Once in place, the balloon is inflated to open the narrowed aortic valve, and the bioprosthetic valve is positioned correctly. The balloon is then deflated and removed, leaving the bioprosthetic valve securely placed over the aortic valve.

Advantages of TAVI:

Minimal invasiveness: TAVI is less invasive compared to traditional open-heart surgery, allowing for faster patient recovery.
Reduced risk of complications: TAVI minimizes the risk of complications when compared to open-heart surgery. Therefore, it is preferred for high-risk patients or those who are not suitable candidates for surgery.
Shorter hospital stay: Patients undergoing TAVI typically have shorter hospital stays, enabling them to resume normal activities sooner.
Faster recovery: TAVI facilitates a quicker recovery process, allowing patients to return to their regular routines at a faster pace.
Applicability to a broad range of patients: TAVI can be effectively performed on various age groups and patients with comorbidities.
