MEDTRONIC TAVI TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE IMPLANTATION (TAVI)

A PARADIGM SHIFT IN THE MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS WITH SEVERE AORTIC STENOSIS

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure to replace the function of the aortic valve.

A LESS INVASIVE TREATMENT OPTION

TAVI may be an excellent option for certain patients because the prevalence of aortic stenosis and co-morbidities increase the risks associated with surgical aortic valve implantation (SAVI).1 Without intervention, the average symptomatic patient life expectancy is 2 to 5 years.2

PREVALENCE OF  SEVERE AORTIC STENOSIS

Approximately 300,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed annually with symptomatic, severe aortic stenosis.3
