300th Heart Patient Receives New Valve Technology at Orlando Health Heart & Vascular Institute
New technology to replace heart valves has helped 300 hearts beat stronger and longer. The Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Program at the Orlando Health Heart & Vascular Institute recently reached the 300-patient milestone in just under six years. Initially, TAVR was used to treat severe aortic stenosis in patients who were at high or extreme risk for surgery. As the national experience with TAVR has increased, guidelines now also allow TAVR to be offered to select patients deemed to be intermediate risk for surgery. Untreated, aortic valve stenosis can lead to serious heart problems including heart failure and even death.
