TAVI, or transcatheter aortic valve implantation, is a minimally-invasive procedure that replaces a faulty aortic valve with a new one. It's also known as TAVR, which stands for transcatheter aortic valve replacement. What it's used forTAVI is used to treat severe aortic valve stenosis, which is when the aortic valve doesn't open fully. It's often used for patients who are considered high surgical risk or inoperable. How it's performed? A catheter is inserted into a blood vessel in the chest or upper leg. The catheter is used to guide a replacement valve over the top of the old valve. A balloon on the tip of the catheter is inflated to widen the valve opening. The catheter is removed, and the replacement valve is compressed and placed on the tip of another catheter. The new valve is expanded using a balloon inflated underneath it.Since it is a minimally invasive procedure, patients generally go home the next day after the procedure.

Pacemaker implantation - A pacemaker is a small, battery-powered device that's surgically implanted in the chest or abdomen to regulate a slow or irregular heartbeat. It's used to treat conditions like bradycardia, sick sinus syndrome, and heart block. How it worksA pacemaker sends electrical impulses to the heart through wires called pacing leads. The rate at which the impulses are sent is called the pacing rate. Most pacemakers can adjust the pacing rate based on your body's needs. For example, they can speed up when you're active. Pacemakers can also help the chambers of your heart beat stronger and at the same time.(Note: This procedure can be done in hospital setting only)

Coronary angioplasty is a procedure that uses a balloon to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. It's a minimally invasive procedure that improves blood flow to the heart. What it's used for ?· Coronary angioplasty is used to treat coronary artery disease (CAD), which is caused by a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries.· It can be performed as an emergency procedure during a heart attack.· It can also be performed as an elective procedure if a healthcare provider suspects heart disease.How it's performed?· A catheter with a balloon at its tip is inserted into a blood vessel. · The catheter is guided to the blocked coronary artery. · The balloon is inflated to press the plaque against the artery walls. · A stent may be inserted into the artery to keep it open.(Note: This procedure can be done in hospital setting only)
