Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Surgery (tavr)

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Surgery (TAVR)

When the valves get thickened and function partially, such is not a sign of a healthy heart and such valves need replacement, which is done through a minimally invasive surgical procedure which is known as TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement surgery).

The treatment is used to lessen the symptoms in aortic valve stenosis patients. 

Cardiac stenosis is a form of cardiac valve disease in which calcium buildup mostly causes the valve between the lower left heart chamber and the aorta to shrink.

Not Everyone Is Qualified For TAVR:

Some people might not be able to use TAVR. For some patients, aortic valve stenosis treatment may necessitate open heart surgery. 

However, some individuals can be at risk for open heart surgery issues, thus TAVR might be a preferable choice for them. 

Doctors decide whether to use surgical aortic valve replacement (open heart surgery) or TAVR to treat aortic valve stenosis after thoroughly assessing the patient's condition. 

Any best heart specialist in Hyderabad should be consulted for this matter.   

Considerations for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR):

As is highlighted above, not all patients require TAVR (i.e. transcatheter aortic valve replacement surgery). 

Renowned cardiologists only do the surgery after a thorough evaluation and risk factor analysis.

Here are a few TAVR warning signs:

  • Patients who have significant aortic stenosis are at risk for open heart surgery or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).

  • Patients with severe aortic stenosis who have less than a year to live. A multidisciplinary heart team carefully considers their comorbidities before taking action to enhance their quality of life and lengthen their life expectancy.

  • Persons with symptomatic aortic stenosis might be surgical candidates but for whom the heart team prefers TAVR as an acceptable alternative operation due to its minimally invasive technique. 

The technique may only be carried out in a hospital with an on-site cardiac surgery department and a readily available multidisciplinary heart team.
