THE BRIEF
1

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation allows eligible patients to replace narrowed aortic valves without undergoing traditional open-heart surgery.

2

The procedure involves guiding a biological tissue valve via catheter through a leg artery to the damaged site, where it begins operating instantly.

3

TAVI offers quick mobilization with most patients discharged within days, though it remains unsuitable for every aortic stenosis patient.
