It is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve that fails to open properly which may be an option for those who cannot have open-heart surgery.
It is the replacement of the aortic valve of the heart through the blood vessels (as opposed to valve replacement by open heart surgery).
The TAVR procedures can be done through very small openings that leave all the chest bones in place.
In this procedure, generally, doctors insert a catheter in the patient’s leg or chest and guide it to his/her heart.
