The TAVR procedure has expanded the possibilities for replacing the aortic valve, and we continue to help shape its evolution. For people who cannot undergo surgery to replace narrowed valves, TAVR first provided an effective option where none existed. Recently, it also presented a minimally invasive alternative for people who could endure an operation, but faced moderate risk. Now, we are investigating its possible use in an even wider range of people. FEATURED ? Stanford Hospital Physicians Give Heart Patient a Second Chance ?

We complete more than 250 procedures a year, the region’s highest volume. Nationally recognized expertise, with our doctors offering TAVR since its beginning. We have years of experience working with the procedure and contributing to its development. Team approach that includes surgeons with previous valve replacement experience and interventional cardiologists who have mastered minimally invasive treatment. They partner with top imaging specialists. Access to the latest valves by participating in clinical trials. TAVR constantly evolves. We receive valves still being studied, as well as those released in limited quantities upon FDA approval. Additional types of TAVR, with our team often able to do a second procedure when an earlier replacement valve wears out. Active research program, starting with TAVR’s first clinical trials. A Stanford doctor co-authored the paper on TAVR and moderate surgical risk, and we now participate in a study of low risk. What Is TAVR? Overview About TAVR During transcatheter aortic valve replacement, we thread thin tubes called catheters through an artery in the leg to reach your heart. We place a new valve made from animal tissue, relieving narrowing called aortic stenosis. This approach avoids opening your chest, putting you on a heart-lung bypass machine, or making an incision in your heart. Until TAVR became possible, open surgery provided the only treatment for severe stenosis. Our team has helped lead three expansions of TAVR’s use, each involving a different group of people and surgical risk: High-Risk Patients Many people cannot undergo surgery to replace their valve because they might not survive the operation or might develop other serious complications. This group includes people who are sicker or previously underwent open-heart surgery. Do your research before going to this doctor.
