Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

What Is Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)?

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, called TAVR, replaces a narrowed aortic valve through a small groin puncture, avoiding open-heart surgery. The valve expands inside the diseased valve and starts working immediately.

Why TAVR Matters?

TAVR restores strong, one-way blood flow from the heart, relieves breathlessness, and prevents heart-failure complications with a faster recovery than surgical valve replacement.

TAVR 2
  • Eliminates severe aortic stenosis symptoms

The valve implantation itself lasts about ninety minutes. Including preparation and recovery in the cath-lab suite, the total time in the procedure room is usually two to three hours.

Most patients receive light sedation and remain drowsy but responsive. You breathe on your own and feel minimal discomfort. General anaesthesia is reserved for specific anatomical or clinical needs.

Many patients sit up within six hours and take short assisted walks the same evening. Full, unassisted ambulation typically resumes the next morning before discharge.

Current transcatheter valves demonstrate excellent durability. Clinical studies project functional lifespans of at least ten to fifteen years, similar to modern surgical bioprosthetic valves.

Continue heart-healthy habits: balanced diet, regular walking, weight control, and prescribed medicines. Attend cardiac rehabilitation if recommended and keep all follow-up appointments for echo checks and medication review.
