You have been diagnosed with a condition called aortic stenosis—narrowing of the aortic valve. Your doctors have recommended a valve replacement using transcatheter aortic valve implant (TAVI) to treat your aortic stenosis. The purpose of this guide is to help you and your family prepare for your stay at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute and for your recovery at home.
This guide provides an overview of the TAVI procedure and of the preparation and recovery process.
