Slowing down? Don’t let your severe aortic stenosis (heart valve failure) stop you now.
Delaying treatment for your heart valve failure could be a deadly risk. Don’t wait for your severe aortic stenosis, also referred to as heart valve failure, to get worse. By postponing treatment, it could increase your risk of complications. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a less invasive way to replace your aortic heart valve without opening the chest. Most people go home the next day, which means more time with your loved ones. It is a choice that patients should discuss with their doctors.

The major risks of TAVR include death, stroke, bleeding, and vascular complications.
