Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)

Results

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) may relieve the signs and symptoms of aortic valve stenosis, which may help improve quality of life.

Following a heart-healthy lifestyle is important as you recover and to help prevent further heart problems. After TAVR:

  • Don't smoke.
  • Eat a heathy diet rich in fruits and veggies and low in salt (sodium) and saturated and trans fats.
  • Get regular exercise — talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise routine.
  • Maintain a healthy weight.
