TAVR Treatment

Some patients may qualify for a promising technique called Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). With this minimally invasive treatment, doctors implant a small device into the heart valve with catheters (long, thin tubes). Traditional, open-heart surgery is not required.

Our team specializes in all TAVR treatments, including valve replacement and “valve-in-valve” treatments.

The cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons at the William Acquavella Heart Valve Center were part of the national clinical trials that proved the effectiveness of TAVR in a variety of patients.

This treatment is covered by Medicare and most major insurances.

Mitraclip

This is a simple procedure to correct mitral valve regurgitation. During this procedure, your doctors will insert a catheter (long, thin tube) through a vein in your leg and guide it to your heart.

A small clip is then attached to the mitral valve so that it will close completely. This will help improve blood flow through your heart and body.
