What is TAVR/TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement)?
TAVR, also called TAVI, treats selected severe aortic stenosis by delivering a collapsible tissue valve through a catheter, most often from the femoral artery, without open-heart valve replacement. In a catheter or hybrid laboratory, the team advances a crimped bioprosthetic valve—usually transfemorally—and deploys it within the diseased aortic valve under imaging, with immediate assessment of gradient, leak, coronary flow and conduction.
