Performing the Most Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacements Surgeries
Request an Appointment for TAVR
In the past, patients with a failing aortic heart valve were typically too sick to be helped, or the standard treatment – open-heart surgery – was considered too risky.
But with the latest advancements in medical technology, there are new, minimally invasive methods to treat a patient’s failing aortic heart valve. That’s why we are pleased to perform more transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) surgeries than any other health care provider in New Jersey.
In this procedure, a synthetic or artificial valve is collapsed and threaded through a blood vessel to the heart on the tip of a catheter. Physicians use state-of-the-art imaging technology to visualize its precise placement then, expand the new valve. It begins to function immediately and works like a normal healthy valve that allows for proper blood flow through the chambers of the heart.
No chest incision is required, resulting in quicker recovery, less pain and fewer complications.
