The Sentara Heart Valve team, Dr. Summers, Dr. Talreja and Dr. Kemp, performed a LIVE Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), moderated by Dr. Adler. This is a minimally-invasive procedure performed by inserting a new aortic valve via a catheter to replace a damaged valve. The TAVR procedure displaces the diseased valve and the new valve is deployed in it's place. This life changing procedure can be a better option over traditional open-heart surgery for some patients due to faster recovery times.
