Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) at Apollo Hospitals Chennai is offered to patients with severe narrowing of the aortic valve (a condition called aortic stenosis) who need a safer, less invasive alternative to open-heart surgery. At Apollo Chennai, the procedure is supported by advanced imaging, state-of-the-art Cath Lab infrastructure, and the combined expertise of interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and anesthesiologists, ensuring high standards of safety, precision, and outcomes.   

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), also known as TAVR, is a minimally invasive procedure in which a diseased aortic valve is replaced through a catheter, usually inserted via the femoral artery in the groin, without opening the chest or stopping the heart. A collapsible tissue valve mounted on a metal stent is positioned within the damaged valve and then expanded to restore normal blood flow, allowing faster recovery and shorter hospital stays.
