Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows the aortic valve in your heart to be replaced with a new valve while your heart is still beating. The procedure is less invasive than traditional open-heart surgery with a much faster recovery time. Interventional Cardiologist, Sanjiv Patel, M.D., will discuss the how the procedure works, who qualifies as a candidate, symptoms of aortic stenosis, risks and recovery time, and heart-healthy tips for a patient after the procedure is performed.
