Shorter recovery time: TAVI is a minimally invasive procedure that typically requires only a small incision in the groin or chest. As a result, patients can often leave the hospital within a few days and return to their normal activities within a few weeks, compared to several months of recovery time with open-heart surgery.

• Reduced pain: TAVI is less invasive than traditional open-heart surgery, which means that patients may experience less pain and discomfort during and after the procedure.
• Lower risk of complications: Since TAVI is a less invasive procedure, there is a lower risk of complications such as bleeding, infection, or damage to the blood vessels or heart.
• Suitable for high-risk patients: TAVI is an excellent treatment option for patients who are not considered suitable candidates for open-heart surgery, such as elderly patients or those with multiple health problems.
• No need for general anesthesia: Unlike open-heart surgery, TAVI can often be performed using local anesthesia, which means that patients do not have to be put to sleep.
• Less scarring: Since TAVI is a minimally invasive procedure, there is less scarring and a lower risk of wound infections compared to open-heart surgery.
