Подробнее о видео

Discover everything about Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), a minimally invasive procedure for aortic stenosis. Learn about its benefits, risks, and recovery process.


Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure used to replace a diseased aortic valve without open-heart surgery. It is primarily performed on patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at high risk for traditional surgery.

During the TAVR procedure, a catheter is inserted through the femoral artery (groin) or a small incision in the chest. A collapsible artificial valve is delivered to the heart and expanded, pushing the old valve aside and taking over its function.

Key Benefits of TAVR:
✔️ Minimally invasive with quicker recovery
✔️ Suitable for high-risk and elderly patients
✔️ Improved heart function and quality of life

Potential Risks:
⚠️ Valve leakage or improper positioning
⚠️ Stroke or blood clots
⚠️ Vascular complications

Recovery Process:
Patients usually stay in the hospital for a few days and can resume normal activities within weeks. Follow-ups with a cardiologist ensure optimal valve function.
