What is TAVR & Aortic valve replacement?

TAVR stands for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement. It is also referred to as TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implant).
The procedure is for individuals diagnosed with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis and are at intermediate or greater risk for open heart surgery.

TAVI stands for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation. It is also referred to as TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement).
The procedure is for individuals diagnosed with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis and are at intermediate or greater risk for open heart surgery.
The TAVI/TAVR procedure allows a new valve to be inserted within the diseased aortic valve. During the procedure, the new valve pushes the leaflets of the current diseased valve aside. The frame uses the leaflets of the diseased valve to secure it in place.
TAVI/TAVR is a less invasive procedure. It uses a catheter to replace the heart valve instead of opening up the chest of the patient and completely removing the diseased valve. It can be performed in multiple ways.

 

What is Aortic Stenosis?

Aortic stenosis is a build-up of calcium deposits on the valve, which causes it to narrow and reduce blood flow to the rest of your body.

What are the symptoms of Aortic Stenosis?

  • Shortness of breath
  • Fatigue
  • Difficulty walking short distances
  • Loss of consciousness episodes (Syncope)
  • Chest pain
  • No longer taking part in physical activities you used to enjoy.

These could also be symptoms of heart failure. If you have any of these symptoms and have been diagnosed with heart failure, ask your doctor to also test for aortic stenosis.

 

What are the risk factors for aortic stenosis?

  • Increase in age
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Smoking
  • Deformed aortic valve
  • Family history

What causes Aortic Stenosis?

Calcium builds up on the valve

With age heart valves may accumulate calcium deposits.

Birth defect

Some people are born with an aortic valve that has only one or two leaflets instead of three. This may not cause any problems until adulthood, at which time the valve may begin to narrow or leak.

Rheumatic fever

This may result in scar tissue on the aortic valve, which can narrow it or an create a rough surface where calcium deposits can collect.

Radiation therapy

In rare cases, calcification of the aortic valve can occur more quickly in patients who have received radiation treatment to the chest.

What are the treatment options in TAVR?

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

TAVR may be an option for people who have been diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis, depending on their risk for open heart surgery. TAVR is a less-invasive procedure than open heart surgery. This procedure uses a catheter to implant a new valve within your diseased aortic valve.

A transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedure (TAVR) is less invasive than open heart surgery. The entire procedure typically takes approximately 1–2 hours. Your heart team will determine whether you should have a mild sedative or general anesthesia.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement recovery time ?

FAQ's

Over the last decade, multiple studies and clinical trials have proven the use of TAVI/TAVR in high risk patients and demonstrated encouraging clinical outcomes. This then lead to comparing the use of the TAVI/TAVR technology in intermediate risk patients and compare it with the standard of care i.e Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement.

TAVI/TAVR in intermediate-risk patients was superior at 1 year to surgical valve replacement, with lower rates of death, strokes, and the composite endpoint of death, strokes, and moderate to severe aortic regurgitation combined. Moreover, other infrequent but nonetheless important procedure-related complications, including coronary occlusion, annulus rupture, and device embolization were also decreased after TAVI/TAVR at 30 days.

Compared to surgery, TAVI/TAVR also yielded significantly lower rates of acute kidney injury, severe bleeding events and new onset atrial fibrillation. TAVI/TAVR patients spent less time in the hospital overall b the average time in the ICU was about two days with TAVI/TAVR versus four days with surgery, and the average hospitalization for TAVI/TAVR was six days compared to nine days with surgery.

TAVI/TAVR also appeared to improve the aortic valve areas more than surgery, meaning that the quality of the valves performance was better as measured by echocardiography during follow-up points through two years.

Factors that lead to such good clinical outcomes The role of the Heart team and the proper selection of the patients have contributed to excellent clinical outcomes of TAVI/TAVR. The improvement in device technology is not only making the adoption of the technology easier but also improving the short term as well long term clinical outcomes superior

TAVI/TAVR with the new generation valves demonstrates good clinical outcomes in patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at intermediate risk of surgical mortality.
