Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

What It Is

TAVR is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is needed when the aortic valve of your heart narrows down, preventing its full functionality and limiting blood flow out of the heart. The procedure replaces a malfunctioning aortic valve without the extensive incisions required in traditional open-heart surgery.

How It's Performed

Rather than fully opening the chest, our medical professionals use a catheter to guide a new valve to the aorta through a small incision. This approach provides a less invasive and quicker solution to aortic valve problems compared to conventional surgical methods.

What It Treats

The procedure addresses aortic stenosis, a condition where the aortic valve of your heart narrows down, preventing its full functionality and limiting blood flow out of the heart. Our success rate exceeds 95%, with benefits including quicker recovery times, shorter hospital stays, reduced ICU admissions, and enhanced safety outcomes.

Candidacy

Patients diagnosed with aortic stenosis who face excessive risk from traditional open-heart surgery are candidates for TAVR. We offer comprehensive evaluations to determine suitability for the procedure.
