Washington University Physicians at Barnes-Jewish Hospital explain aortic stenosis and treatment options including open heart surgery and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). TAVR is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open heart surgery for intermediate and high risk patients. TAVR patients are likely to experience an easier recovery with less pain and a shorter hospital stay. We treat the largest volume of TAVR patients in the region, which allows us to assess your particular needs and perform the procedure with confidence. See how this experience along with a team-oriented approach leads to better outcomes for our patients.
