A member asked:
Could edema in the left ankle only be due to a malfunction of a tavr done last june?/ no history of heart failure before.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If the TAVR were the cause, it would affect both ankles symmetrically. Look for a localized cause: varicose veins, ruptured Baker's cyst (from an arthritic knee), cellulitis, or a deep vein thrombosis - would be the most common causes. Sometimes, no cause is found.
