Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)

TAVR in Mysore

Overview 

TAVR in Mysore at Manipal Hospital offers a less invasive option for patients with severe aortic stenosis who may not be suitable for open-heart surgery. The procedure replaces the diseased valve using a catheter placed in a blood vessel, without opening the chest. Designed especially for elderly and high-risk patients, TAVR helps relieve symptoms, improves daily function, and supports faster recovery under expert cardiac care.

How It Works 

At Manipal Hospital Mysore, the TAVR journey begins with careful evaluation and planning. Detailed CT scans and echocardiography are used to measure the aortic valve accurately and assess blood vessels, ensuring the procedure is safe and tailored to the patient’s anatomy.

On the day of the procedure, TAVR is usually performed under general anaesthesia or conscious sedation. A small puncture is made in the femoral artery in the groin, allowing doctors to guide a catheter to the heart under live imaging. A temporary pacing wire may be used to control heart rhythm during key steps.

The new valve, compressed onto a catheter, is positioned inside the diseased valve and expanded. This pushes the old valve leaflets aside and allows the new valve to take over blood flow immediately. Doctors confirm correct placement and valve function using echocardiography before completing the procedure.

Patients are then shifted to a specialised cardiac recovery unit for close monitoring. The procedure itself typically takes around one to one and a half hours, with most patients resuming gentle activity within a day.
