TAVI | TAVR | TMVR

TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation), TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement), and TMVR (Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement) are advanced, minimally invasive procedures used to replace damaged heart valves without open-heart surgery.

These procedures are especially beneficial for patients who are high-risk or unsuitable for conventional surgery.

TAVI / TAVR (Aortic Valve Replacement)

What Is TAVI / TAVR?

TAVI (also called TAVR) is a procedure to replace a narrowed or leaking aortic valve using a catheter-based approach. A new valve is delivered through a blood vessel (usually via the leg) and placed inside the diseased valve.

Who Needs TAVI / TAVR?

• Severe aortic stenosis

• Elderly patients

• High or intermediate surgical risk patients

• Symptoms like chest pain, breathlessness, or fainting

TMVR (Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement)

What Is TMVR?

TMVR is a catheter-based procedure used to replace a damaged mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It improves blood flow between the left atrium and left ventricle, reducing heart failure symptoms.

Who Needs TMVR?

• Severe mitral valve disease

• Patients not suitable for surgical valve replacement

• Persistent breathlessness or heart failure symptoms

• Previous valve surgery or high surgical risk
