Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a revolutionary procedure designed to address aortic valve issues without the need for traditional open-heart surgery.This minimally invasive technique involves the insertion of a new valve through a catheter, leading to quicker recovery times and reduced complications.

Why it’s done?

TAVR is performed to treat aortic valve diseases such as aortic stenosis, where the valve becomes narrowed or obstructed, hindering the smooth flow of blood from the heart to the rest of the body. This procedure is recommended for patients who may not be suitable candidates for open-heart surgery due to various factors, including age or underlying health conditions.
