Heart HQ – Episode 3: Valve-in-Valve TAVI and Cardiovascular Disease in women
Stuart shares an interesting case of a patient who was facing their third heart operation. Thanks to Valve-in-Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (ViV TAVI), they were subjected to a minimally-invasive procedure with a shorter recovery period than with open heart surgery.
In our ‘5 things to consider‘ segment, they take a look at women and cardiovascular disease – the prevalence, the symptoms, causes and more.
