Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

A Minimally Invasive Option for Aortic Valve Disease

At SouthCoast, we are proud to offer Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)— a groundbreaking, minimally invasive procedure for patients suffering from severe aortic stenosis who may not be ideal candidates for traditional open-heart surgery. TAVR is a life-changing procedure that replaces a narrowed aortic valve without the need for open-heart surgery. Through a small incision, typically in the leg, a new valve is delivered via catheter and precisely positioned within your existing valve — restoring proper blood flow and improving quality of life, often with faster recovery times and fewer risks.

Why Choose TAVR?

  • Minimally Invasive: No open-heart surgery required
  • Faster Recovery: Most patients return home within a few days
  • Proven Results: Improved survival and symptom relief
  • Expert Care: Performed by our highly skilled cardiovascular team using advanced imaging and technology

Our experienced heart specialists take a personalized approach to every case, working closely with you to determine if TAVR is the best option for your health and lifestyle.
