Facts About TAVR
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a non-invasive treatment for severe aortic stenosis patients that does not require open-heart surgery or an incision to the patient's chest.
In 2019, TAVR received a FDA approval for low-risk patients. As a result, many patients can now be considered for TAVR.
