Transcatheter Cardiovascular procedures are used to treat a wide range of heart and vascular conditions where blood flow is impaired due to structural abnormalities such as narrowed valves, vessel obstruction, or electrical and anatomical dysfunctions.
These conditions can range from mild to severe, and symptoms often appear only in advanced stages, although some patients may remain asymptomatic for long periods.
For patients undergoing these procedures, such as TAVI in case of aortic stenosis, advanced technologies such as protection and support devices are designed to enhance procedural safety by reducing the risk of complications, including embolic events and organ damage. These solutions aim to support clinicians during complex interventions, helping improve outcomes and enabling a safer and more confident recovery for patients.
The most common cause of aortic stenosis is calcific degenerative disease, a build-up of calcium on the valve cusps that occurs with increasing age. Risk factors of aortic valve stenosis include:
It’s important to note that the choice of treatment option will depend on various factors, including the severity of the aortic valve stenosis, overall health status, age, and other individual factors. Your healthcare provider will evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment option tailored to your needs. Untreated severe AS can lead to heart failure and sudden death.
