Transcatheter valve replacement (TAVI)
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) involves inserting a catheter into a blood vessel in your thigh and delivering to the aortic valve. It helps to fix a new valve over the old one.
The main advantages of this technique are that it avoids a major surgery. Usually, TAVI is more suitable for people who are too frail or have high risk features to have a conventional valve replacement. Research is always evolving.
