Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) - A Less-Invasive Alternative to Open Heart Surgery

The heart care team at UC Davis Health was first in the Sacramento region to offer transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), a less-invasive alternative to open heart surgery for treating aortic valve stenosis. Now, nearly eight years later, the cardiologists, surgeons, nurses, OR staff and imaging specialists who helped launch and expand the program celebrated their 1,000th case.

    Thanks for the prayers. My TAVR is scheduled in 8 days. I've had a few anxious moments about it as I've recently had The Watchman Procedure. And sometime following that, I had an angiogram. Thank You, Lord for no blockages found. I've had A Fib for years and some calcification and now the stenosis. Hearing others going good results makes more me at ease. Thanks, everyone and God Bless us all.

    Hello how are you? How was your Tavr? Hope you are doing well and heart healthy. My Mother is starting her testing for surgery. Praying mother has no blockage (angiogram and Tee) then hopefully we move forward to her surgery day. I'm nerves for my Mother 84yrs.

    My father had the TAVR, 84 yrs. old. Although the risk is quite low for complications, they had to do bailout surgery after perforation. The death rate is 50% if bailout surgery is needed on this age group. My father died. Please look beyond the low incidence of complications, and educate yourself on the high mortality rate for bailout surgery. This is a high risk age group and thus the reason for TAVR vs. open heart.

    I had the TAVR at UC Davis in July 2023. Went home the next day. Doc says its good for 10-15 years then i can have another TAVR and get another new valve. UC Davis does a lot of these procedures.

    @@pepsico815 Incorrect. Blood thinners are necessary for purely mechanical valves to prevent clots from forming around the hinge areas of the valve. The TAVR procedure uses a bioprosthetic valve which consists of a static metal framework, with the working parts of the valve made of bovine or porcine tissue. These do not have the same clotting problems that a mechanical valve does, and so blood thinners are typically used for only a year or so. However they are subject to calcification and structural degredation over time and generally do not last as long as a mechanical valve.

    I need help with this matter: I have 80% calcification of my aortic valve and some doctors have told me that because of that reason they can only perform open heart surgery since the other procedures such as TAVR and minimally invasive aortic valve replacement will be too dangerous. Could somebody offer an answer to this matter. I will truly appreciate any sensible suggestions. Thank you.

    Always get a second & third opinion . Suggest a major teaching medical center vs small community hospital. The final decision requires you cover yourself by gathering the opinions & guidance/opinion of a multi disciplinary team nd ultimately? YOU! The collective data will factor in your age, overall health, do you have heart disease, etc. (as the procedure requires elevating your resting HRate up to 180 bpm for a short while during the procedure)

    Athund6901: I recently had Tavr to replace an initially installed porcine Aortic valve 17 years ago. It was severely calcified. The surgeon removed some of the residual calcium from the old porcine Aortic valve. If your Doctors are promoting open heart surgery. It's not a medical issue, but a financial issue for them. I suggest an second opinion.
