Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), also known as Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat aortic valve stenosis, a condition characterized by the narrowing of the aortic valve in the heart. During TAVI, a collapsible artificial valve is inserted through a catheter and guided to the site of the diseased aortic valve. Once in place, the new valve is expanded, pushing aside the old valve and restoring normal blood flow.
OCT-guided Coronary Angioplasty is an advanced minimally invasive procedure used to open clogged or narrowed coronary arteries. OCT, or Optical Coherence Tomography, provides high-resolution images of the inside of the arteries. This imaging technique allows cardiologists to precisely visualize the plaque and artery walls, guiding the angioplasty procedure for better outcomes.
Coronary Angioplasty, also known as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. During the procedure, a catheter with a deflated balloon at its tip is inserted into the blocked artery. Once in place, the balloon is inflated to compress the plaque build-up, widening the artery and restoring blood flow to the heart muscle. In some cases, a stent—a small mesh tube—is also placed to help keep the artery open and prevent re-narrowing.
Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR) is an advanced medical procedure used to treat mitral valve disease, specifically mitral valve regurgitation or stenosis. During TMVR, a prosthetic valve is delivered via a catheter and positioned within the diseased mitral valve to restore proper blood flow through the heart.
