For many years, severe aortic valve narrowing meant open-heart surgery was the primary treatment option. Today, the TAVI/TAVR Procedure has transformed care for many eligible patients by replacing the diseased valve through a minimally invasive catheter-based technique.
Aortic stenosis often develops gradually. Patients may notice increasing fatigue, dizziness, chest discomfort, or breathlessness during routine activities. Unfortunately, these symptoms are sometimes mistaken for normal ageing, delaying diagnosis.
TAVI, also known as TAVR, allows a new valve to be positioned within the damaged valve without removing it surgically. Recovery is often quicker compared to traditional surgery, making it particularly valuable for older adults and patients with higher surgical risk.
However, suitability depends on several factors, including valve anatomy, overall health, existing medical conditions, and detailed imaging studies. That's why comprehensive evaluation is essential before deciding on the most appropriate treatment.
Patients in Navi Mumbai now have access to advanced structural heart interventions that emphasize both safety and long-term valve performance. Careful planning by an experienced heart team helps ensure every patient receives individualized recommendations.
Dr. Rajesh Matta works closely with patients and their families to explain available treatment options, expected recovery, and the long-term management required after valve replacement. Understanding the procedure often reduces anxiety and helps patients make informed decisions.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis, don't ignore persistent symptoms. Consult Dr. Rajesh Matta in Navi Mumbai to discuss whether the TAVI/TAVR Procedure could be the right treatment option for restoring heart function and improving quality of life.
