One of the biggest benefits of TAVR is that it’s a minimally invasive procedure. This means your cardiologist and cardiovascular surgeon use fewer incisions, which often results in less pain and faster recovery.
During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube called a catheter is used to insert a replacement valve over your diseased valve, immediately improving its function. Unlike open-heart surgery, TAVR does not require a heart-lung machine to take over the function of your heart and lungs. Plus, it only takes a few small incisions rather than a large chest incision.
Our TAVR team includes experts who specialize in heart catheterization, heart surgery, imaging and anesthesia. This experienced team works together to help ensure every patient receives safe, superior care.
Temple has one of the Philadelphia region’s most sophisticated surgical suites. We provide advanced equipment, technology and space to accommodate a team from many specialties.
The shape and size of aortic valves can vary from person to person. That’s why we offer a selection of replacement valves designed to fit the unique needs of every patient.
Temple clinical researchers have been involved with transcatheter aortic valve replacement studies since the early days of their clinical trials. This level of knowledge cultivated over many years results in the highest level of expertise.
