TAVR, Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, is changing the lives of patients living with severe aortic stenosis who are inoperable or high-risk for an open heart procedure to replace their aortic valve. Since the first TAVR procedures performed in Tulsa at Oklahoma Heart Institute May 2, 2012, patients who have had this procedure have been cured of their aortic stenosis, greatly improving their shortness of breath, chest pain and quality of life. Director of Structural Heart Disease at Oklahoma Heart Institute Dr. Kamran Muhammad takes us step by step through a real patient TAVR procedure in this video.
