Undisputedly, post-procedural stroke remains the most-dreaded complication following TAVR. Experiencing a major (disabling) stroke is more feared than death itself by many of the elderly patients undergoing TAVR.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a type of heart valve surgery. It's done to replace a narrowed aortic valve, a condition called aortic valve stenosis. A doctor inserts a flexible tube called a catheter into a blood vessel and guides it into the heart.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has replaced surgical aortic valve replacement as the new gold standard in elderly patients with severe aortic valve stenosis. However, alongside this novel approach, new complications emerged that ...

2021年3月21日 · What is the TAVR The transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive method to replace the aortic valve – typically due to aortic stenosis. It is performed by one of three approaches: Via the femoral artery like a cardiac catheterization. Transapically by being inserted through the left ventricular apex.

2023年12月14日 · TAVR is a minimally invasive way to fix an aortic valve that isn’t working properly. Under X-ray guidance, a sheath (a hollow tube) is inserted through an artery in the groin (or sometimes in another location). Through this sheath, a new heart valve can be advanced up to the appropriate location in the heart.

2015年6月30日 · What Is A TAVR (TAVI)? TAVR is a revolutionary new heart valve treatment most commonly used to treat a tight aortic valve, otherwise known as aortic stenosis, TAVR stands for ‘transcatheter aortic valve replacement’, it is also commonly referred to as TAVI, which stands for ‘transcatheter aortic valve implantation’.

2016年12月30日 · Thoracic aortic dissection is one of the most lethal events in cardiovascular disease, and there are numerous possible mechanisms by which an aortic dissection can develop during TAVR: stiff wire interaction in the ascending aorta, catheter valve injury to the aortic wall by creating an intimal disruption, valve retraction to expose the balloon ...

2020年1月31日 · What is the TAVR procedure? TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure designed to replace a diseased aortic valve. Because the procedure is less invasive, recovery time is also less than that of alternative procedures. TAVR works by inserting a new valve inside the diseased aortic valve, without requiring the chest to be opened.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was approved in the United States in late 2011, providing a critically needed alternative therapy for patients with severe aortic stenosis previously refused surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).

2022年3月25日 · What are the differences between TAVR and open-heart surgery? TAVR involves a smaller incision, shorter hospitalization, faster recovery, and less visible scarring compared to open-heart surgery.
