Non-Surgical Valve Replacement Options: Understanding TAVI with Dr. Jigar K. Shah

DrJigarKShah03-Jun-2025

Heart valve disease can severely impact a person’s quality of life, especially in older adults or those with other medical conditions. Traditionally, valve replacement required open-heart surgery — a high-risk option for many. Today, innovative procedures like Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) offer a non-surgical valve replacement solution.

At Chandan Hospital, Faizabad Road, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow, Dr. Jigar K. Shah is leading the way in advanced, minimally invasive cardiac care through TAVI.

Do you know what TAVI is ?

TAVI (also known as TAVR – Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) is a minimally invasive heart procedure used to replace a narrowed aortic valve caused by aortic stenosis. Instead of traditional open-heart surgery, a catheter is inserted through a small incision — usually in the groin — and guided to the heart to implant the new valve.
This technique offers a safer and faster alternative for high-risk patients who might not be suitable for surgery.

Key Benefits of TAVI -

According to Dr. Jigar K. Shah, an experienced interventional cardiologist at Chandan Hospital, Lucknow, TAVI has numerous advantages:
● Minimally Invasive: No need for large chest incisions or stopping the heart.

● Quick Recovery: Most patients return home within 2–3 days.

● Reduced Risk: Ideal for elderly or high-risk patients.

● Symptom Relief: Significant improvement in breathing, energy levels, and overall comfort.

● Proven Success: TAVI has become a globally trusted procedure with strong clinical outcomes.

Who Needs to Think About TAVI?

TAVI is advised by Dr. Jigar K. Shah for patients who have severe symptomatic aortic stenosis.
