Key Benefits of TAVI / TAVR Surgery
What is TAVI / TAVR Surgery?
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a breakthrough treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis—a condition where the aortic valve becomes narrowed, restricting blood flow from the heart. Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, TAVI / TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure performed through small incisions, often via the femoral artery in the groin.
For patients in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, Dr. Mahesh Ghogare offers advanced expertise in TAVI / TAVR surgery , making this life-saving procedure accessible locally.

How TAVI / TAVR Surgery Works
Understanding the TAVI / TAVR procedure helps patients feel more confident about their treatment. Our experienced team guides you through every step of the process, from initial evaluation to post-procedure care.
The TAVI / TAVR Procedure Steps
Catheter Insertion
A thin tube (catheter) is inserted into a blood vessel, usually in the leg.
Valve Guidance
The new artificial valve is guided to the heart through this catheter.
Valve Expansion
Once positioned, the new valve expands and begins functioning immediately, restoring normal blood flow.
Minimally Invasive
This entire process avoids the need for open-chest surgery, making it a safer and more effective solution for high-risk patients.
TAVI / TAVR Approaches
Transfemoral Approach
Most common method through the femoral artery in the groin - the least invasive option with fastest recovery.
Transapical Approach
Through a small incision between the ribs, directly accessing the heart's apex when femoral access isn't suitable.
Transaortic Approach
Through a small chest incision, accessing the aorta directly for optimal valve positioning.
Who Needs TAVI / TAVR Surgery?
Ideal Candidates for TAVI / TAVR
Patients who:
- •Suffer from severe symptomatic aortic stenosis
- •Are at high or intermediate risk for open-heart surgery
- •Experience symptoms like chest pain, fainting, fatigue, or shortness of breath
- •Are elderly or medically fragile, where traditional surgery carries greater risks
Dr. Mahesh Ghogare carefully evaluates each patient using echocardiography, angiography, and advanced cardiac imaging to determine if TAVI / TAVR surgery in Navi Mumbai is the right option.
