Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Surgery, commonly known as TAVR, is an advanced minimally invasive procedure used to treat severe aortic valve stenosis, a condition in which the aortic valve becomes narrowed and restricts blood flow from the heart to the body. This condition often affects elderly patients and may cause symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness, dizziness, fainting episodes, and reduced exercise capacity. Traditional open heart surgery was once the only treatment option, but TAVR now offers a less invasive alternative for selected patients, especially those who are at high surgical risk. The procedure involves inserting a new artificial valve through a catheter, usually passed through an artery in the groin, and guiding it to the heart without the need for a large chest incision. Detailed evaluation including echocardiography, CT angiography, and cardiac assessment helps determine patient eligibility and procedural planning. Dr. Saurabh Juneja carefully assesses each case to ensure that Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Surgery is the most suitable treatment option based on age, comorbidities, and overall heart function. The procedure is performed in a specialized cardiac catheterization laboratory equipped with advanced imaging and monitoring systems to enhance precision and safety. Recovery time is generally shorter compared to conventional surgery, allowing patients to resume daily activities sooner. Post procedure follow up and regular cardiac monitoring are essential to ensure long term valve function and heart health. TAVR represents a significant advancement in modern cardiac care, offering improved quality of life for patients who may not tolerate open heart surgery. Consulting an experienced cardiovascular specialist ensures accurate diagnosis, appropriate patient selection, and comprehensive care throughout the treatment journey.
