A member asked:
Can aortic regurgitation be treated with tavr surgery or is it only viable for aortic stenosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TAVR: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) involves implanting a device (a stent-like frame with a valve inside it) where the existing aortic valve sits between the heart and the aorta. The original valve is not removed. TAVR is currently an option for certain patients with Aortic Stenosis (their own valve does not open well) particularly those who are not good candidates for surgery.
