Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat patients with severe aortic stenosis. It replaces the thickened aortic valve with a man-made valve to help restore blood flow.

  • Dizziness or light-headedness
  • Swelling of the ankles

Treatment of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

The TAVR procedure can be done using one of the following two approaches.

Transfemoral Approach

It does not require a surgical incision in the chest. The procedure is performed by entering through the femoral artery (large artery in the groin).

Transapical Approach

It is a minimally invasive surgical approach with a small incision in the chest. The procedure is performed by entering through a large artery in the chest or through the tip of the left ventricle (the apex).
