What is TAVI Surgery?

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), also known as TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement), is a breakthrough treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis—a condition where the aortic valve becomes narrowed, restricting blood flow from the heart. Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, TAVI is a minimally invasive procedure performed through small incisions, often via the femoral artery in the groin.

For patients in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, Dr. Mahesh Ghogare offers advanced expertise in TAVI surgery, making this life-saving procedure accessible locally.

How TAVI Surgery Works

  • A thin tube (catheter) is inserted into a blood vessel, usually in the leg.
  • The new artificial valve is guided to the heart through this catheter.
  • Once positioned, the new valve expands and begins functioning immediately, restoring normal blood flow.
  • This entire process avoids the need for open-chest surgery, making it a safer and more effective solution for high-risk patients.
