About the Procedure
What is Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI/TAVR)?
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI/TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed, diseased aortic valve without open-heart surgery, using a catheter-delivered artificial valve. It is typically recommended for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at intermediate-to-high surgical risk, elderly, or have other conditions that make traditional open valve replacement risky. TAVI relieves symptoms like breathlessness, chest pain, and fatigue by restoring normal blood flow through the valve.
Who may be considered?
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI/TAVR) may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
The valve is delivered through a small puncture in the femoral artery in the groin, guided by imaging, and is the standard first-choice approach when vascular access is suitable.
2 approaches available for this procedure:
Transfemoral TAVI (TF-TAVI)
Most PopularThe valve is delivered through a small puncture in the femoral artery in the groin, guided by imaging, and is the standard first-choice approach when vascular access is suitable.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $800 - $1,500
ECG, 2D Echocardiography, CT Angiography (aortic annulus and vascular access), Coronary Angiography, CBC, Kidney and Liver function tests, Coagulation profile
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $18,000 - $28,000
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~4-5 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~7-10 days recommended
Total stay: approx 12-15 days
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Pre-procedure cardiac evaluation
- TAVI valve device and delivery system
- Cath lab and procedure charges
- Hospital stay in cardiac care unit
- Post-procedure medications
- Follow-up echocardiogram before discharge
Usually Not Included
- International flight tickets
- Visa and travel insurance
- Accommodation for attendant/companion
- Long-term follow-up medications after discharge
- Any unrelated pre-existing condition treatment
Recovery and follow-up
Most patients are mobilized within a day of the procedure and discharged within 4-8 days depending on the access route, with a follow-up echocardiogram and cardiology review before travel home. Full recovery typically takes 2-4 weeks, and lifelong antiplatelet therapy along with periodic valve function monitoring is advised.
Risks
Potential risks include vascular access complications, stroke, need for permanent pacemaker, valve leakage (paravalvular leak), bleeding, and kidney impairment; these vary based on patient risk profile and access route chosen. Serious complications are relatively uncommon in experienced high-volume centers.
Alternatives
Alternatives include surgical aortic valve replacement (open-heart surgery) for lower-risk patients suitable for surgery, balloon aortic valvuloplasty as a temporary symptom-relief measure, and optimized medical management for patients unsuitable for any intervention. The choice depends on surgical risk score, valve anatomy, and overall patient health assessed by a heart team.

Common questions
FAQs about Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI/TAVR) in India
What is Aortic Stenosis?
Aortic stenosis is a condition in which the aortic valve, which controls blood flow out of the heart's main pumping chamber, becomes narrowed and stiff, forcing the heart to work harder to push blood through a reduced opening.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Aortic Stenosis?
Common symptoms include chest tightness or pain (angina), shortness of breath on exertion, dizziness, and episodes of fainting or near-fainting—a triad that typically signals significant disease progression. In earlier stages, many people have no symptoms at all, and the condition may be detected only through a heart murmur heard during a routine examination. Experiencing any of these symptoms does not confirm a diagnosis, and other cardiac or non-cardiac conditions can cause similar presentations.
How is Aortic Stenosis diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically begins with a clinical history and physical examination, where a characteristic heart murmur may be detected, followed by a transthoracic echocardiogram (echo)—the primary tool used to measure valve area, the pressure gradient across the valve, and overall heart function. Severity is graded as mild, moderate, or severe based on these measurements, with a mean pressure gradient above 40 mmHg or a valve area below 1.0 cm² generally indicating severe stenosis. Additional investigations such as cardiac CT, stress testing, or cardiac catheterisation may be recommended depending on individual findings and planned treatment.
How is Aortic Stenosis treated?
Treatment depends on the severity of the stenosis, the presence and nature of symptoms, and the individual patient's overall health and surgical risk profile. Severe symptomatic aortic stenosis has a poor prognosis without valve intervention, and procedural treatment—either Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI/TAVR) or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR)—is generally recommended when clinically appropriate. The choice between approaches is made by a multidisciplinary heart team and depends on factors such as anatomy, age, frailty, and other medical conditions.
Can Aortic Stenosis be treated without a procedure?
There is currently no medication proven to slow the progression of aortic stenosis itself; however, managing associated conditions—such as controlling blood pressure, treating heart failure symptoms, and addressing coronary artery disease—is an important part of overall care. For patients with mild to moderate disease who are not yet symptomatic, or for those who are not suitable candidates for intervention, regular clinical and echocardiographic monitoring is a recognised and appropriate management strategy. Any decision to defer procedural treatment should be made in close consultation with a qualified cardiologist who knows the individual's full clinical picture.
When is Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI/TAVR) considered for Aortic Stenosis?
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI/TAVR) may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Aortic Stenosis?
Aortic stenosis is typically evaluated and managed by an interventional cardiologist or a structural heart cardiologist, often working alongside a cardiothoracic surgeon as part of a dedicated valve or heart team. In complex cases or when surgical replacement is being considered, joint assessment by both specialties is standard practice.
How do I choose a doctor for Aortic Stenosis?
When comparing providers, look for centres with a formal multidisciplinary heart valve team, documented experience in both TAVI and surgical valve replacement, and transparent data on procedural volumes and outcomes. It is also worth asking about post-procedure cardiac rehabilitation, long-term follow-up protocols, and access to specialist support if complications arise.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
