https://www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com - Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a revolutionary new technology for patients with aortic stenosis. Thanks to this minimally-invasive therapy, no incisions are made to the patient's chest or ribs. In addition, the patient does not go on the heart-lung machine during a TAVR.

However, the use of TAVR for the treatment of aortic stenosis is not appropriate for all patient types. Age, for example, is a key criteria when determining if TAVR is a suitable treatment option for aortic stenosis. For this specific reason, many patients wonder, "Am I too old for TAVR?" and "Am I too young for TAVR?"

In this special video, Dr. Raj Makkar, Professor of Cardiology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, answers these very important questions. Dr. Makkar is a world-renowned interventional cardiologist who is the #1 implanter of TAVR valves across the world.
