TAVI Vs. Robotic Cardiac Surgery:
When it comes to aortic valve disease, it's essential to choose the right treatment.
Treatment options can include medical management, surgical aortic valve replacement and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)
Surgical aortic valve replacment can be done by cutting opening the breast bone (conventional surgery), or without cutting it open by minimally invasive techniques (MICS) and by Robotic assisted technology.
Robotic and MICS surgery is done by a qualified and trained surgeon as it needs training, practice and precision.
TAVI is a minimally invasive procedure where aortic valve is implanted through a small cut in the groin. It is done by a specialist Cardiologist and a surgeon making a team together.
The choice between the treatment methods (medicine/surgery) is taken looking at age of the patient, disease severity and general condition of the patient.
It must be discussed in detail with the patient and the family. The decision must be in best interest of the patient, looking at his condition, needs and health requirements.
