About the Procedure
TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) is a minimally invasive treatment for severe aortic valve stenosis, especially recommended for patients who are at increased risk for open-heart surgery or who may benefit from a faster recovery.
Instead of opening the chest, the new valve is implanted through a catheter, usually inserted through the femoral artery. This allows the heart valve to be replaced with less surgical trauma, shorter hospitalization, and faster postoperative recovery.
This program is designed for patients seeking advanced aortic valve treatment performed by a highly experienced cardiac specialist using innovative and patented valve repair techniques whenever applicable.
What’s Included in the Package
Comprehensive Preoperative Evaluation
Before the intervention, the patient undergoes a full cardiac assessment to confirm eligibility for TAVI and to carefully plan the procedure.
This may include:
First consultation with the cardiac surgeon
Review of previous cardiology reports and imaging
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Echocardiogram
Blood tests and coagulation profile
Cardiac CT scan for valve and vascular planning
Coronary angiography or catheterization, if required
Pre-anesthesia assessment
Evaluation by the structural heart / cardiology team
Interventional Treatment
The package includes:
TAVI procedure
Implantation of the transcatheter aortic valve
Use of advanced catheter-based techniques
Specialized interventional cardiac team
Hemodynamic monitoring during the procedure
Operating room / cath lab expenses
Anesthesia or sedation, according to the case
Standard surgical and interventional consumables
Whenever clinically appropriate, the surgical strategy is tailored to preserve function and optimize long-term outcomes.
Hospital Stay
3 to 5 days of hospitalization
Immediate postoperative monitoring in a specialized cardiac unit
Private room included after the initial monitoring period
Continuous medical and nursing supervision
Postoperative Care
The program includes the essential postoperative care during hospitalization:
Daily follow-up by the cardiac team
Cardiac rhythm and blood pressure monitoring
Pain control and recovery supervision
Early mobilization
Medication adjustment and discharge planning
Final medical report with treatment recommendations
