For many patients with severe aortic stenosis, getting treatment once meant facing open-heart surgery and a lengthy recovery.
Thanks to Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), a minimally invasive approach to replace a damaged heart valve, many patients can receive a new heart valve through a minimally invasive procedure and return home quickly.
As MaineHealth celebrates more than 3,000 TAVR procedures performed, we're proud to continue providing advanced heart care that helps patients live longer, healthier and more active lives. Congratulations to the MaineHealth Structural Heart Program for achieving this remarkable milestone!
