How TAVI Helps High-Risk Heart Patients | Dr. Sridhara G | Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road

In the second segment, Dr. Sridhara G, Consultant – Interventional Cardiology and Electrophysiology at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, Bengaluru, outlines the available treatments for aortic valve degeneration and stenosis. He notes that while open-heart surgery remains the standard approach, it may not be suitable for high-risk patients due to the invasive nature and associated challenges. As an alternative, Dr. Sridhara introduces TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation), a minimally invasive procedure that is rapidly gaining acceptance in the medical community. TAVI offers a safer and less invasive option, especially for patients who are not ideal candidates for traditional surgery.
