TAVR: The Game-Changer for Elderly Aortic Valve Patients
Dr. Manjinder Sandhu
Senior Interventional Cardiologist
Aortic valve stenosis affects millions of elderly adults worldwide. As the valve becomes thick and calcified, the heart works harder to pump blood, causing severe fatigue, breathlessness, and chest pain.
TAVR offers a non-surgical alternative where a new valve is placed inside the old valve via a small leg catheter, avoiding the risks of sternotomy and open surgery.
