What is Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation? Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), also called Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve affected by aortic stenosis.

What is Percutaneous Coronary Intervention? Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), also known as coronary angioplasty with stenting, is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure performed in a specialised catheterisation lab. PCI is used to treat narrowed or blocked coronary arteries caused by plaque build-up (atherosclerosis). This procedure can improve blood flow, relieve chest pain, and reduce the […]
