TAVI Expert In Bangalore | Dr Srinivas Prasad B V | Fortis Hospital Bangalore
What is TAVI?
TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) — also known as TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) — is a minimally invasive procedure used to replace a diseased aortic valve without the need for open-heart surgery.
At Fortis Hospital Bannerghatta Road, we offer advanced TAVI procedures for patients with severe aortic stenosis, ensuring world-class care with quicker recovery and less risk compared to traditional surgery.
Who Needs TAVI?
TAVI is recommended for patients who:
- Have severe narrowing (stenosis) of the aortic valve.
- Are at high or intermediate risk for open-heart surgery.
- Experience symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fatigue.
- Prefer a minimally invasive option for valve replacement.
Fortis Hospital Bannerghatta Road provides a comprehensive evaluation to determine if TAVI is the right choice for you.
How is TAVI Performed?
- A flexible catheter is inserted, typically through the femoral artery in the groin.
- A new valve is guided through the catheter to the heart.
- Once in position, the valve expands and begins functioning immediately.
- The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours and is performed under sedation or light anaesthesia.
Our highly experienced team at Fortis Hospital Bannerghatta Road ensures that patients receive the safest, most advanced TAVI treatments available.
