Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a type of heart valve surgery. It's done to replace a narrowed aortic valve, a condition called aortic valve stenosis. A doctor inserts a flexible tube called a catheter into a blood vessel and guides it into the heart.

2024年6月7日 · TAVR or TAVI is a minimally invasive procedure where a new valve is inserted without removing the old, damaged valve. The new valve is placed inside the diseased valve. Patients who cannot tolerate surgery for aortic valve replacement may be good candidates for a less invasive approach called TAVI or TAVR.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a nonsurgical procedure to replace your heart’s aortic valve. This minimally invasive procedure can help people with a narrow aortic valve that keeps blood from getting to your body’s cells.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a procedure that replaces a diseased aortic valve with a man-made valve. Aortic valve replacement can also be performed with open-heart surgery; this procedure is surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).

2023年7月24日 · Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is well established in the treatment of severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) for patients considered to be at prohibitive risk for surgery. It is also an alternative to surgical correction in low to intermediate risk patients.

2022年3月24日 · Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), also known as TAVR or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), is a procedure to treat aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the aortic valve. The narrowing blocks the flow of blood to …

2023年12月14日 · TAVR, or transcatheter aortic valve replacement, is a minimally invasive procedure for severe aortic stenosis shown to have benefits for an increasing number of patients.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is the implantation of the aortic valve of the heart through the blood vessels without actual removal of the native valve (as opposed to the aortic valve replacement by open heart surgery, surgical aortic valve replacement, AVR).

In TAVR (also called transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) or a valve-in-valve procedure), your doctor places a new aortic valve inside the damaged one. The new valve pushes the old valve out of the way and immediately starts working to control blood flow.
