Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a less invasive alternative to traditional valve replacement surgery. Instead of opening the chest, TAVR uses a catheter to replace a damaged heart valve through a small incision in the groin or the chest.
TAVR is currently approved for use in people with aortic stenosis who are at intermediate or high-risk for open heart surgery. Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve which limits blood flow in the heart.
