TAVI / TAVR is a minimally invasive sophisticated and advanced procedure , where a new valve is inserted without removing the old damaged valve without an open heart surgery , ie,the valve doesn’t open fully bcz of narrowing its orifice.

Our heart valves play an important role in keeping blood flowing through your heart . the aortic valve opens to let blood flow from your heart to aorta . the aorta is the big vessel supplying your body with oxygen rich blood.

If anybody have severe calcific aortic stenosis , you may need to replace your aortic valve .
