TAVR for Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests the safety and effectiveness of the Medtronic TAVR system in patients with specific heart valve issues who are low risk for traditional surgery. The device replaces damaged heart valves through a small cut in the leg, avoiding open-heart surgery. This method has shown promise as an alternative to traditional surgery in patients with severe heart valve problems.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
How is the TAVR treatment different for bicuspid aortic valve disease?
TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement) is a less invasive alternative to traditional open-heart surgery for replacing the aortic valve, especially in patients with bicuspid aortic valve disease. Unlike surgical aortic valve replacement, TAVR is performed through a catheter, which means it can be done without opening the chest, potentially leading to quicker recovery times.12345
