About the Center
Since 2009, TAVI interventions have been performed at the HDZ NRW by a mixed team of experienced cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and cardiac anesthetists in a hybrid operating room. This cooperation guarantees the highest level of safety for all our patients.
Treatment
During a TAVI intervention, a collapsed biological prosthetic valve is advanced to the diseased aortic valve with the help of a catheter. When the prosthetic valve is opened, the native aortic valve is pushed back against the wall and the TAVI valve anchored in the valve calcification.
