About TAVR / TAVI
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), also known as Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure for patients with severe aortic stenosis or valve narrowing. Instead of open-heart surgery, a catheter-based approach is used to implant a new valve, reducing risks and ensuring faster recovery.
At Paras Hospital, Srinagar, we specialize in balloon-expandable and self-expanding valves such as Edwards Sapien and Medtronic CoreValve, ensuring precision, safety, and long-term outcomes.

What is Aortic Valve Disease?
The aortic valve controls blood flow from the heart to the body. With aortic stenosis, the valve becomes narrowed or stiff, leading to:
-
Severe shortness of breath
-
Chest pain (angina)
-
Dizziness or fainting (syncope)
-
Fatigue and reduced exercise capacity
If untreated, it can lead to heart failure or sudden cardiac death.
Common Reasons for TAVR / TAVI:
-
Severe symptomatic aortic stenosis
-
High-risk or inoperable patients for open-heart surgery
-
Elderly patients with multiple medical conditions
-
Valve disease causing recurrent hospitalizations
-
Patients with weakened heart function (low ejection fraction)
TAVR / TAVI Options at Paras Hospital, Srinagar
Our interventional cardiologists offer advanced TAVR techniques including:
Transfemoral TAVR
Valve delivered through a catheter via the leg artery (most common approach).
Transapical TAVR
Valve inserted via a small incision in the chest (for patients with unsuitable femoral access).
Balloon-Expandable Valves
Advanced technology (Edwards Sapien) for precise valve placement.
Self-Expanding Valves
Medtronic CoreValve system for flexible deployment in complex anatomies.
