A Patient Guide To Interventional Cardiology

Transcatheter valve therapy replaces or repairs a diseased heart valve without open surgery. A replacement aortic valve, folded inside a catheter, is guided up to the heart and expanded inside the old one. It was first offered only to patients too frail for an operation, and trials since have extended it to lower risk patients as well. The decision between a catheter procedure and surgery is made by a heart team of cardiologists and surgeons together, weighing age, anatomy, other illnesses and how long the valve is expected to last.
