What is Aortic Stenosis?
Aortic stenosis occurs when the aortic valve becomes narrowed, making it harder for the heart to pump blood effectively.
Common symptoms:
-
Breathlessness during activity
-
Chest discomfort or tightness
-
Fatigue or weakness
-
Dizziness or fainting spells
-
Reduced ability to exercise
Causes of Aortic Valve Stenosis
Several structural, age-related, or underlying health conditions can contribute to the development of aortic valve narrowing.
Primary causes:
-
Age-related valve calcification
-
Congenital bicuspid valve
-
Previous rheumatic heart disease
-
Other underlying valve conditions
Early detection helps prevent long-term heart complications.
What is TAVI?
TAVI is a minimally invasive procedure that replaces a narrowed aortic valve without conventional open-heart surgery.
-
New valve delivered through a catheter
-
Usually accessed through the blood vessel
-
Diseased valve remains in place
-
New valve restores blood flow
-
Performed by a specialised Heart Team
How is TAVI or TAVR different from the standard valve replacement?
TAVI is a novel, (US) FDA Approved, technically advanced, and minimally invasive procedure, suitable for people with symptomatic aortic stenosis who are even low-risk or do not have the fitness to undergo standard valve replacement surgery.
TAVI

- No chest opening
- Usually shorter hospital stay
- Faster initial recovery
- Suitable for selected patients
Surgical Valve Replacement

The right treatment depends on your valve condition, age and overall health.

I think one of the best places for doing anything related heart treatment, the staff is polite and very caring to the patient, my dad and grandmother were both admitted here for their angioplasty it happened very smoothly. The Dr. Ankur, Dr. Kunal and Dr. Harshad they do not miss any problem or over look any patient and they are very much accurate with their success rate. The only small issue is the waiting room for the ppl who come with the patient is that it's uncomfortable to wait and there are not many washrooms for ppl who come with the patient, my experience was fabulous and tension free as they are very realistic and smooth regarding their procedurePosted on Google![]()
