How Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR/TAVI) is performed
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement usually uses self-expanding or balloon-expandable devices, as determined by the team. The routine procedure is to insert a catheter through the femoral artery or other access under image guidance, cross the stenotic valve orifice, and precisely release the artificial valve to top the original valve leaflets and restore valve orifice patency, while monitoring hemodynamics and coronary blood supply. Early postoperative attention is paid to heart rhythm and conduction, vascular access, and renal function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
