First TAVI implants at Southampton Spire
In January 2025 Wessex Cardiology performed the first two TAVI procedures at Southampton Spire. Dr John Rawlins (TAVI lead) and Dr Simon Corbett both did the first two implants, which went well and both patients are doing very well. Dr Rawlins has worked hard with the team to establish this new service at Southampton Spire, which will be one of the few new TAVI units in England in 2025. We can now offer this procedure, in suitable patients for both self-paying and insured patients (with pre-authorisation).
