Transcatheter Valve Replacements
TAVR, TMVR, TTVR, TPVR

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR): A minimally invasive procedure used to replace a diseased aortic valve with a new valve, delivered through a catheter inserted into the blood vessels. TAVR is often performed on patients with severe aortic stenosis who are considered high-risk for traditional open-heart surgery.

Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR): Similar to TAVR, TMVR involves replacing a malfunctioning mitral valve using a catheter-based approach. This procedure is typically considered for patients with mitral valve regurgitation who are not candidates for surgery.

Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement (TTVR): TTVR is a procedure aimed at replacing a damaged tricuspid valve through catheter-based delivery. It is performed to treat severe tricuspid valve disease, often in patients with significant comorbidities or previous surgeries.

Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Implantation (TPVI): TPVI is a minimally invasive procedure used to replace a dysfunctional pulmonary valve. It is commonly performed in patients with congenital heart defects, such as Tetralogy of Fallot, who have undergone previous surgical repair and require valve replacement.
