Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a well-proven procedure for aortic valve replacement in people who are considered as high-risk patients for Open Heart Surgery. In this procedure, a new aortic valve is fixed without removing the old, damaged valve with the help of a specialised catheter through a process similar to stenting. A new artificial valve wedges into the place of the older aortic valve. A dedicated Heart Team consisting of Interventional Cardiologist, Cardiac Surgeon, Non-Invasive Cardiologist, Cardiac Radiologist and the Cardiac Anaesthesiologist, first conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether this procedure is an appropriate treatment option for the patient or not. This includes Clinical Examination, Echocardiogram, CT scan and Cardiac Catheterization.
