TAVR is a groundbreaking, minimally invasive procedure used to replace a diseased aortic valve without the need for traditional open-heart surgery. This advanced technique is designed for patients with severe aortic stenosis who may be at high risk for surgical complications. During the procedure, a new valve is delivered through a small catheter, typically inserted through an artery in the leg, and positioned precisely within the diseased valve.

By restoring normal blood flow and improving heart function, TAVR allows patients to experience faster recovery times, less discomfort, and a quicker return to their daily activities — all while reducing the risks associated with open-heart surgery.

At Heart and Vascular Centers of South Florida, our experienced cardiovascular team performs TAVR using state-of-the-art imaging and technology, providing patients with safe, effective, and life-changing results.
