Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital’s cardiology team gathered Tuesday to unveil the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, or TAVR, a cutting-edge cardiac procedure.
“Over the last decade, the TAVR procedure has revolutionized the way that we treat heart disease,” said Dr. Abhishek Sinha, a structural heart director at Henry Mayo.
Sinha was a fellow at the University of Washington, when they did the first TAVR procedure, and has performed 175 since then.
