What is TAVI/TAVR?
TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) or
TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) is a minimally invasive procedure used to
replace a narrowed aortic valve (aortic stenosis) without open-heart surgery. It is performed
through a small incision in the groin or chest, where a catheter is used to place a new valve inside the diseased one.
