Choosing TAVR or Redo Surgery | Health and Fitness News
Description
If your aortic valve replacement isn’t working, you’re faced with a tough choice: go for the less invasive TAVR or opt for redo open-heart surgery. TAVR offers quicker recovery and fewer bleeding or kidney complications, but it’s often given to older, sicker patients, making long-term data murky. Redo surgery may last longer and reduce valve leaks, but recovery takes longer. The right call depends on your age, health, and how long you want the valve to hold up — no one-size-fits-all answer here.
