Dr. Pablo Rengifo-Moreno, interventional cardiologist at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, explains transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), a minimally-invasive alternative to heart surgery for eligible patients suffering from aortic stenosis. The procedure uses a catheter to replace the aortic valve through an incision in the groin, eliminating the need to both open the chest and stop the heart.
