TAVR: A Minimally Invasive Solution for Aortic Valve Disease
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure designed to treat severe aortic stenosis—a condition in which the aortic valve narrows blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. TAVR offers a valuable alternative to traditional open-heart surgery, especially for patients who are at high or moderate risk for complications from conventional surgery.
In TAVR, a new valve is inserted into the heart using a thin, flexible catheter, typically guided through a small incision in the groin. The new valve is expanded within the existing, diseased valve, pushing the old leaflets aside and allowing the replacement valve to control blood flow regulation. This approach allows patients to avoid the trauma of open-heart surgery and enables a faster recovery, often with just a few days of hospital stay.
Who is TAVR For?
TAVR is ideal for patients with severe aortic stenosis who may be considered at high risk for open-heart surgery due to factors like age, existing health conditions, or frailty. This minimally invasive option is increasingly being used for patients with moderate surgical risk as well, making it a practical choice for many people who need valve replacement.
