(AS)?<\/h4><p>Aortic stenosis is one of the heart valve diseases affecting the valves that separate the chambers of the heart. It is a condition where the aortic valve gradually hardens and fails to open properly due to <strong>age-related calcification<\/strong> (calcium deposits) or <strong>congenital abnormalities<\/strong>. As a result, it becomes difficult for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body. With Japan&#8217;s super-aging society in recent years, the number of patients with aortic stenosis is on the rise.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fcd1d2c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fcd1d2c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>\u2461 Symptoms of AS<\/h4><p>The main symptoms include <strong>chest pain, shortness of breath, and fainting<\/strong>. Other symptoms range from <strong>dizziness, palpitations, fatigue, loss of appetite, and swelling in the legs<\/strong>. As the disease progresses, it impairs the heart&#8217;s pumping function, ultimately leading to <strong>heart failure<\/strong> and potentially shortening life expectancy. AS can progress slowly over a long period without symptoms, so patients may mistake it for normal aging. Once symptoms appear, the prognosis worsens, making timely treatment crucial. Generally, without treatment, life expectancy is reported to be 5 years after chest pain onset, 3 years after fainting, and 2 years after heart failure develops.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab0edd4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ab0edd4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>\u2462 What is TAVI?<\/h4><p>To fundamentally resolve AS, the damaged valve needs to be replaced with a new one. The established treatment method has been <strong>Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR)<\/strong>. While this is a highly reliable treatment, it requires opening the chest (thoracotomy) to expose the heart and replacing the valve while the heart is stopped (using a heart-lung machine). This treatment is relatively demanding on the body. For elderly patients, those who have previously undergone open-heart surgery, or those with other dependent conditions, this surgery may be too risky.<\/p><p><br><strong>Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)<\/strong> is a less invasive treatment compared to surgery and has been covered by insurance in Japan since 2013. TAVI is a treatment method that delivers and places a new valve (bioprosthetic valve) in the heart through a catheter inserted into the patient&#8217;s blood vessel (usually at the base of the leg) without the need for highly invasive procedures like thoracotomy. The development of this treatment has made it possible to provide effective treatment even for patients who are not suitable for open-heart surgery, and due to its lower physical burden, it allows for earlier mobilization and discharge.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97f44a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"97f44a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>\u2463 Treatment Process<\/h4><p>For pre-operative evaluation, outpatient blood tests, cardiac ultrasound, chest X-ray, contrast CT scan, and if necessary, catheter examination are performed.<br>After that, our hospital&#8217;s Heart Team will hold a conference to propose the most appropriate treatment method.<br>You will be admitted to the hospital the day before the catheter procedure, and TAVI will be performed under general or local anesthesia in the hybrid operating room on the day of treatment.

Safe, Secure, and Comfortable Recovery Environment with All Private Rooms<\/span><\/h4><p>If post-operative progress is favorable, patients may be moved to the general ward as early as the day after surgery to focus on rehabilitation (*depending on individual patient progress). All general wards in our hospital are private rooms, allowing patients to relax in a quiet environment and focus on post-operative recovery. This not only ensures privacy but also provides a safe and secure environment by reducing the risk of infection from other patients.<\/p><p> <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aaacff1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"aaacff1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46b9d074 back-to-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"46b9d074\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"#link-list-diagnose\">TOP<\/a><\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1390d477 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1390d477\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-46f8c02d\" data-id=\"46f8c02d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1480c9b6 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"1480c9b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-shrink\" href=\"https:\/\/cardiovascularcenter.luke.ac.jp\/treatments\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-arrow-circle-left\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Return to Main Diseases<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Catheter Treatment for Aortic Stenosis (AS) Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: TAVI \u2460 What is Aortic Stenosis (AS)?
