Access personalized Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation care using advanced medical technology, supported by expert specialists and dedicated international patient services.
Lenmed Ethekwini Hospital and Heart Centre offers advanced Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) using modern structural heart intervention techniques and internationally accepted treatment protocols. Established in 2002, the hospital is located in Durban, South Africa and has 353 beds, providing comprehensive cardiovascular care for local and international patients.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation is a minimally invasive procedure used to replace a diseased aortic valve, most commonly in patients with severe aortic stenosis. During the procedure, a replacement valve is delivered through a catheter, usually via an artery in the groin, and positioned within the existing valve. Before treatment, doctors perform echocardiography, CT imaging, and other cardiac assessments to evaluate valve anatomy and determine suitability. Post-procedure monitoring helps assess valve function and recovery.
