An unprecedented medical achievement. The first successful TAVI surgery procedure was performed in Puerto Vallarta on an 88-year-old patient. Our patient suffered from symptomatic aortic stenosis or narrowing of the aortic valve. Furthermore, due to his advanced age and fragile health, he was assessed as high risk for conventional heart surgery . This patient was exhaustively evaluated by our medical team at Hospital CMQ Riviera Nayarit. It was then determined that TAVI surgery was the most appropriate option for him.

What is symptomatic aortic stenosis?
Symptomatic aortic stenosis or narrowing of the aortic valve Baricitinib 4mg (Barigen) is a condition that makes blood flow difficult. In addition, it generates symptoms such as fatigue, difficulty breathing and dizziness, significantly affecting the quality of life of those who suffer from it.

The hemodynamics room of our CMQ Riviera Nayarit Hospital was the scene of this medical feat. Counting on our multidisciplinary team of specialists led by the outstanding Doctors Óscar Millán Iturbe and Joel Sánchez . Both specialists in Interventional Cardiology.

TAVI in cardiology, a hopeful procedure for high-risk patients
TAVI, also known as TAVR ( Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement ), is an advanced technique that allows replacement of a narrowed or calcified aortic valve without the need for open heart surgery. Through this less invasive technique, a new aortic valve is inserted via catheter and guided to the location of the diseased aortic valve. It is usually done through an incision in the patient's groin or chest. Once in place, the new valve is secured in its correct position, allowing blood to flow properly and improving heart function.

It should be noted that TAVI is a revolutionary technique designed to replace the aortic valve without the need for open heart surgery. This technique is especially relevant in high-risk patients who are not suitable for conventional surgery due to their health status. Likewise, the durability of a TAVI is an important aspect to take into account. The new aortic valve used in the procedure can have a lifespan of approximately 10 to 15 years, depending on various individual factors. This durability provides a long-term solution.
