Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

A Leading-edge Heart Valve Procedure

We are one of a select group of hospitals across the country to offer a promising new procedure — transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). If you are too high-risk for traditional open-heart surgery, or have previously been considered inoperable, TAVR may be an option.

TAVR is an aortic valve replacement procedure where a new aortic valve is placed in the heart using a catheter — going through an incision in the leg — and does not require open-heart surgery. Please talk to your Renown cardiologist about whether TAVR is right for you.
