First in Southwest Louisiana to Offer Aortic Valve Replacement Without Open Heart Surgery
The John & Sylvia Stelly Regional Heart Center at CHRISTUS Ochsner St. Patrick Health System is proud to offer a less invasive treatment option for patients with severe aortic stenosis. With transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), our team inserts a new valve in the diseased aortic valve using a catheter instead of opening up the chest and completely removing the diseased valve. If you or someone you love has been told you may need a new heart valve, this procedure may be right for you.
