TAVR Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

TAVR Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Dr. Brian Hummel speaks about a new heart valve replacement procedure called transcatheter aortic valve implantation or TAVR. The benefit of this procedure is that there is no need to stop the heart or use heart/lung machine, so older, more fragile, patients have a better chance of surviving and thriving.
