- The person that would need this procedure
would be symptomatic with heart disease.
Therefore, they tend to be an elderly patient
unsuitable for open heart surgery
that would present with symptoms usually
of breathlessness and heart failure.
And therefore, the aortic valve really is closing.
Okay, so TAVI, each letter,
so transcatheter, which means that we put the actual valve
into a catheter that gets fed up from the groynes ,
so aortic because that's the valve what we're dealing with,
aortic valve, V for valve, and implant.
This is the actual TAVI valve
that gets compressed to fit in the tube
to go from the groyne to the heart.
Patients come in the day before,
so we'd be looking total time from leaving the ward
to going back into the ward,
post-procedure would be the total of three hours.
Majority of our patients do go home two days later.
There are a lot of patients
that still play balls and things like that,
who are still in clubs and committees and things
that they want to continue on with,
but they're finding that they can't get out
because of their limitations of the disease.
The majority of the patients that we treat do feel better,
and we get good response and feedback
usually from their families.
I've heard, oh that's great I've got my mom back again.
Precious time and quality of life
to spend with their family member again.
