An innovative approach to treating aortic stenosis is coming to the West Valley, providing a much-needed option for patients with limited valve repair choices. Dr. Parminder P. Singh, Director of Cardiology at Banner Estrella Medical Center, joined “Arizona Horizon” to provide a deep dive on Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement procedure (TAVR).
TAVR is a minimally invasive approach that involves threading a new valve through a catheter, usually inserted in the leg, and guiding it to the heart’s aortic valve. Once in place, the new valve takes over the role of the damaged valve, allowing for improved blood flow without the need for extensive surgery.
