TAVI / TAVR & MitraClip (Structural Cardiac Interventions)

Structural cardiac interventions are minimally invasive procedures used to treat structural heart conditions without the need for open-heart surgery. These procedures are performed by our specialized Heart Team, ensuring personalized and comprehensive care.

Conditions Treated

• Aortic stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve)
• Mitral regurgitation (leaky mitral valve)
• Atrial septal defect (hole in the heart’s upper chambers)
• Patent foramen ovale (unsealed hole in the heart wall)

The Heart Team

• Interventional cardiologists – experts in catheter-based heart procedures
• Cardiac surgeons – skilled in open and minimally invasive surgery
• Imaging specialists – provide detailed heart images for guidance
• Anesthesiologists – ensure safety during procedures
• Nurses & support staff – assist in care and recovery

Types of Structural Interventions

• Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) – replaces a diseased aortic valve via catheter.
• MitraClip Procedure – repairs a leaky mitral valve by clipping its leaflets together.
• Atrial Septal Defect Closure – seals a hole in the heart wall using a closure device.
• Left Atrial Appendage Closure – reduces stroke risk in atrial fibrillation patients.
