Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)
At CardioOne, we’re proud to offer transcatheter aortic valve implantation in Chermside—a state-of-the-art procedure that provides patients with a safe and effective alternative to open-heart surgery for aortic stenosis treatment in Brisbane. This minimally invasive heart valve treatment in Chermside is designed to restore normal blood flow by replacing a narrowed aortic valve without the need for large incisions or prolonged hospital stays.
What is Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation?
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), also referred to as transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), is a minimally invasive procedure that replaces a diseased aortic valve without removing it. Instead, the new valve is positioned inside the existing one via a catheter inserted through a blood vessel, usually in the groin (femoral access).
This TAVI heart procedure in Brisbane is especially suited for patients with severe aortic stenosis—a condition in which the aortic valve becomes stiff and narrow, restricting blood flow from the heart to the body. Left untreated, this condition can lead to heart failure or sudden cardiac death.
Why You Might Need a TAVI Procedure in Brisbane
Your doctor may recommend aortic valve replacement in Brisbane Northside using the TAVI technique if you have symptoms of severe aortic stenosis, such as:
- Shortness of breath during exertion
- Chest pain or pressure (angina)
- Dizziness or fainting spells
- Fatigue or reduced ability to exercise
- Swelling in the legs or feet
- A heart murmur detected during examination
This aortic stenosis treatment in Brisbane is commonly considered when patients are deemed high or moderate risk for open-heart surgery. It is also offered to low-risk individuals due to its excellent safety profile and fast recovery times.
