Topic: Replacing Aortic Valve without Open Heart Surgery

Description:

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), a revolutionary procedure that allows for the replacement of the aortic valve without the need for traditional open-heart surgery, is transforming the landscape of aortic valve replacement and improving quality of live for patients worldwide.

Join Puneet K. Khanna, MD, FACC Board Certified in Cardiovascular Disease, to learn about the patient profiles best suited for TAVR, including those who are at high risk or too frail for conventional surgery, and a step-by-step look at how TAVR is performed, including the use of catheter-based techniques to implant a new valve through a small incision. Dr. Khanna will review the latest studies and outcomes that demonstrate the significant benefits of TAVR, such as faster recovery, reduced complication rates, and improved survival rates compared to traditional surgery.
