TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) :...

TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) : TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat severe aortic stenosis, a condition where the aortic valve becomes narrowed, restricting blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. TAVR is an alternative to traditional open-heart surgery (surgical aortic valve replacement, or SAVR) for patients who are at high or intermediate risk for surgery. TAVR is typically recommended for : 1. Severe Aortic Stenosis: Patients with symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, or fainting due to a severely narrowed aortic valve. 2. High-Risk Patients: Older adults or those with significant comorbidities (e.g., lung disease, kidney disease, or prior heart surgeries) who are at high risk for complications from open-heart surgery. 3. Intermediate-Risk Patients: TAVR is also an option for patients at intermediate surgical risk, as studies have shown comparable outcomes to SAVR. 4. Inoperable Patients: For patients deemed too frail or sick for traditional surgery, TAVR may be the only treatment option. TAVR has revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, offering a less invasive option for patients who may not tolerate open-heart surgery.
