TAVR can be a viable alternative to open heart surgery for some patients.

The recovery period is also shorter, allowing you to get back to the things and people you love faster.

About TAVR

TAVR is a procedure that replaces a diseased or damaged heart valve. A surgeon places a thin tube, called a catheter, inside your heart. This technique restores normal blood flow through the heart and improves its function, helping you feel better.

If you’re a candidate for TAVR, your cardiovascular team works with you to design the most effective treatment plan for your health goals, needs and lifestyle. And you know you’re in good hands, because we perform over 2,000 TAVR procedures each year.

Benefits

Catheter-based heart and valve care techniques like TAVR reduce the need for large incisions and long hospital stays. As a result, you may have less scarring, a shorter recovery period and a longer life. You may also be able to be more physically active, so you can enjoy life to its fullest.
