Benefits of TAVI Procedure:-
TAVI procedure broadly called as trans catheter aortic valve implantation is a minimally invasive procedure of heart that is used to replace a thickened a aortic wall that cannot be opened fully (aortic valve stenosis). In this procedure an artificial valve is made of natural animal heart tissue that is implanted to the heart. The aortic valve is located between the lower left heart chamber and the body's Aorta. If there is any condition in which the valve does not open properly the blood flow from the heart to the body get reduced.
TAVI procedure is helpful to restore the flow of blood and to reduce the sign and symptoms of aortic valve stenosis that is chest pain shortness of breathing fainting and fatigue.
- Severe aortic stenosis that causes different sign and symptoms in the body.
- Any problem in the aortic valve because of which it is not working as well as it should.
- Any other health conditions like lung diseases, kidney diseases which can make open heart surgery to risky.
- TAVI is less Invasive then other open heart Surgeries- during any other traditional open surgeries there is high risk of more exposure of the heart to the environment because of the entire cut on the chest wall but , trans catheter aortic valve implantation is a minimally invasive procedure that means in this the catheter is entered by small incisions with the help of flexible long tubes and balloons.
- Smaller incisions- since in this procedure the surgeon does not have to open the entire just to put the wall there is no need of long incision that can be a risk factor of infection trance aortic valve implantation patient experiences less discomfort that makes the breathing more comfortable because of this smaller incisions on the body.
- Low risk of complications- this procedure is less likely to cause many of the complications that are associated with the open heart surgery in this procedure the patients heart does not stop and does not have to be put on the cardio pulmonary bypass machine this eliminates one potential area in which things can go awry, hence this procedure carries low blood loss risk during the surgery or even after the surgery.
- Promotes faster healing- as it is a invasive procedure that means shorter healing period since there is no or less trauma to the structure of the chest and due to smaller incisions the patient who undergoes this procedure experience less procedure then the other wall replacement surgeries this procedure helps the patient experience less pain and promotes faster healing.
- Excessive bleeding
- Bloood vessel complications
- Stroke
- Heart attack
- Infection
- Arrythmias
