Aortic valve replacement: a therapeutic breakthrough

Severe aortic stenosis, a heart condition in which the aortic valve becomes narrowed, often requires surgery. Traditionally, two types of artificial heart valves have been proposed:

  • Mechanical valves: Durable and effective, but require lifelong anticoagulant treatment to prevent blood clots.
  • Biological valves: derived from animals or humans, do not require anticoagulation, but have a limited lifespan and may eventually need to be replaced.

Technological advances in Turkey have opened up new therapeutic perspectives. It is now possible to replace the aortic valve through a less invasive procedure without opening the chest. This technique, known as TAVI (transcatheter aortic implantation),offers a less traumatic alternative for many patients.

TAVI operation : What is it ?

Developed in 2008 by the Sorin Group of Italian researchers, the transcatheter aortic valve revolutionizes the treatment of aortic stenosis. Unlike traditional procedures that require open-heart surgery, this innovative bioprosthesis is delivered via a minimally invasive route, without the need for a thoracic incision.

Thanks to its unique design, the valve is delivered to the heart via a catheter and deploys by anchoring itself directly to the aortic annulus. The device, which resembles a miniature parachute, is made of super-elastic materials that allow it to conform perfectly to the patient's anatomy.

TAVI operation

How TAVI is performed in Turkey

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI) in Turkey is performed with precision and under strict medical supervision to ensure optimal placement and function of the new valve.
A trained cardiologist carefully inserts a catheter through a leg artery or sometimes the chest, guiding it to the heart. Using advanced imaging, the replacement valve is precisely positioned at the aortic valve site.

Key Advantages over traditional surgery

  • Reduces trauma and blood loss
  • Avoids open-heart surgery and thoracic incision
  • Promotes quicker recovery and return to normal activities
  • High procedural success rate (>95%)

Preparing for your TAVI procedure

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI) is a significant procedure that requires careful preparation. To optimize your outcome, consider the following steps:

  • Quit smoking: Smoking can significantly increase the risk of post-procedure complications. By quitting, you'll improve your overall health and reduce the likelihood of breathing difficulties, infections, and delayed healing.
  • Prioritize overall health: Your doctor will conduct blood tests to assess your hemoglobin levels, which are crucial for a successful recovery. If your hemoglobin is low, steps can be taken to increase it before the procedure.

By following these recommendations, you can actively contribute to the success of your TAVI and a smoother recovery. Don't hesitate to discuss your concerns with your cardiologist, who is committed to guiding you through this process.

Risks and potential complications of TAVI

Complications associated with TAVI surgery, although rare, can be divided into two main groups:

Periprosthetic complications

These complications directly involve the implanted prosthetic valve or adjacent anatomical structures. They may include:

  • Periodontal leakage.
  • Prosthesis migration.
  • Coronary obstruction.
  • Annular rupture, generally very rare.

Systemic complications

These complications affect organs distant from the heart. They may include

  • Embolism (fragments of blood clots or prosthetic material that travel to other organs).
  • Arrhythmias, sometimes requiring the placement of a pacemaker.
  • Vascular access-related complications (bleeding, hematoma).

The success rate of TAVI is high, generally greater than 95%, with a very low procedure-related mortality rate.

Recovery after TAVI

Recovery after TAVI is generally faster and less demanding than after traditional open-heart surgery. Most patients can expect to resume daily activities within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on their overall health.

Key aspects of recovery include:

  • Follow-up: Regular check-ups to monitor heart function and detect complications early.
  • Lifestyle: Maintain a heart-healthy diet, stay active, and manage blood pressure and cholesterol.
  • Medications: Take prescribed medications, including anticoagulants if needed.

Aortic Valve Replacement Transcatheter (TAVI) FAQ in Turkey

How long does the TAVI procedure take?

The TAVI procedure lasts on average 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case and the access route used (femoral, apical, or other).

What is the recovery time after a TAVI?

Most patients resume light activities within a few days and can be discharged from the hospital in 2 to 5 days. Full recovery, with a return to normal life, generally occurs faster than after open-heart surgery.

Can I benefit from a TAVI if I have other heart diseases?

Yes, but feasibility depends on a comprehensive evaluation by the cardiologist and the multidisciplinary team, who will consider your other conditions and overall risk.

Is TAVI suitable for elderly patients?

Yes. TAVI is ideal for elderly or high-risk patients because it avoids open-heart surgery and general anesthesia. It lowers complication risks and supports faster recovery, especially in people over 75, based on a cardiologist’s evaluation.

How long does a TAVI valve last?

A TAVI valve usually lasts eight to ten years, though this can vary depending on the patient’s age, health, and the type of valve used. It is important to regularly follow up with a specialist to monitor valve function over time.

Can TAVI be redone if the valve deteriorates?

Yes. A second TAVI, called valve-in-valve, can replace a worn-out valve without major surgery. It’s possible if the patient’s health and anatomy allow it, based on a cardiology team’s evaluation.
