An aortic valve replacement can be a lifesaving measure to preserve healthy heart function and robust circulation throughout the body. Like any heart procedure, the recovery can be lengthy and require ...
Surgery to replace an aortic valve is done for aortic valve stenosis and aortic valve regurgitation. During this surgery, the damaged valve is removed and replaced with an artificial valve. The valve ...
Heart valves can be replaced with open heart surgery or with less invasive procedures that don’t require your chest to be opened. Known as transcatheter valve replacement, this type of procedure has ...
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement, or TAVR, is a minimally invasive heart procedure that replaces a thickened aortic valve that can't fully open (aortic stenosis). The procedure restores proper ...
A new study shows that patients who underwent a minimally invasive transcatheter aortic-valve replacement (TAVR), had similar key 5-year clinical outcomes of death and stroke as patients who had ...
The aortic valve sits between the heart’s left ventricle and the aorta. It opens and closes with the heartbeat to allow blood to flow to the body without leaking back into the heart. It may need to be ...
