Dr. Manish Juneja and his team have successfully performed advanced TAVI procedures, delivering safe, minimally invasive valve replacement with expert care, modern technology, and excellent outcomes.
Heart valve problems can become life-threatening if not treated on time. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), also known as non-surgical valve replacement, is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure designed for patients suffering from severe aortic valve stenosis.
At Dr. Manish Juneja’s cardiac care center, we provide cutting-edge TAVI treatment with high success rates, faster recovery, and reduced surgical risks. This procedure is especially beneficial for elderly patients or those who are not suitable for open-heart surgery.
What is TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation)?
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is a modern heart procedure where a damaged aortic valve is replaced without opening the chest. A new valve is inserted through a catheter, usually via the leg artery, and positioned inside the diseased valve. This technique ensures minimal pain, shorter hospital stay, and quicker recovery compared to traditional open-heart valve replacement.
TAVI is widely recognized as a safe and effective solution for patients with severe valve narrowing, helping restore normal blood flow and improve quality of life.
Types of TAVI Procedures
1. Transfemoral TAVI
The most common approach where the valve is inserted through the femoral artery in the leg. It is less invasive and offers faster recovery.
2. Transapical TAVI
In this method, the valve is delivered through a small incision in the chest and inserted directly into the heart.
3. Transaortic TAVI
The valve is inserted through the upper chest via the aorta. This approach is used when leg arteries are not suitable.
4. Trans - subclavian TAVI
The valve is inserted through the artery near the shoulder, offering an alternative access route.
TAVI Procedure – Step by Step
- Pre-Procedure Evaluation
Patients undergo tests like ECG, 2D Echo, CT scan, and blood tests to assess heart condition and valve severity. - Catheter Insertion
A thin tube (catheter) is inserted through the artery (usually in the leg) under local anesthesia or mild sedation. - Valve Placement
The new artificial valve is guided to the heart and placed inside the damaged valve. - Valve Expansion
The new valve expands and starts functioning immediately, restoring normal blood flow. - Recovery Phase
Patients are monitored in ICU and usually discharged within a few days.
TAVI Cost in India
The TAVI procedure cost in India can vary depending on the hospital, valve type, and patient condition. On average, the cost ranges between ₹18 lakh to ₹30 lakh. Although it may seem high, the benefits of faster recovery, lower complications, and advanced technology make it a valuable investment in heart health.

FAQ’s
1. What is TAVI treatment?
TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) is a minimally invasive procedure used to replace a damaged aortic valve without open-heart surgery.
2. Who is eligible for TAVI?
TAVI is recommended for patients with severe aortic stenosis, especially elderly individuals or those at high risk for open-heart surgery.
3. How is the TAVI procedure performed?
A catheter is inserted through an artery (usually the leg), and a new valve is placed inside the damaged valve without opening the chest.
4. Is TAVI safer than surgical valve replacement?
TAVI is generally safer for high-risk or elderly patients due to its minimally invasive nature and faster recovery.
5. What is the recovery time after TAVI?
Most patients recover quickly and are discharged within a few days, resuming normal activities soon after.
6. What is the cost of TAVI in India?
The TAVI procedure cost in India typically ranges between ₹18 lakh to ₹30 lakh, depending on patient condition and hospital facilities.
7. What are the benefits of TAVI?
TAVI offers less pain, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and lower surgical risks compared to open-heart surgery.
8. Are there any risks involved in TAVI?
Like any procedure, TAVI carries some risks such as bleeding, infection, or need for a pacemaker, but complications are generally low.
9. How long does a TAVI valve last?
TAVI valves are durable and can last many years, depending on patient health and lifestyle.
