Alan Yeung, MD, discusses Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) to treat aortic stenosis. This minimally invasive procedure spares patients from the traditional chest-opening approach of valve replacement. Dr. Yeung talks about outcomes, particularly in the Asian population, where the incidence of damaged valves is on the rise due to increased life expectancy.

Alan Yeung, MD, is a world-renowned interventional cardiologist and the Stanford University School of Medicine Li Ka Shing Professor in Cardiology.
