Alan Yeung, MD, discusses Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) to treat aortic stenosis. This minimally invasive procedure spares patients from the traditional chest-opening approach of valve replacement. Dr. Yeung talks about outcomes, particularly in the Asian population, where the incidence of damaged valves is on the rise due to increased life expectancy.
Alan Yeung, MD, is a world-renowned interventional cardiologist and the Stanford University School of Medicine Li Ka Shing Professor in Cardiology.

It's less than 2 weeks before I get the Edwards valve on a Thursday. I'm 80 and cannot wait to go home on Saturday morning.
I have been diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis and am scheduled for a TAVR procedure after getting a C Scan. I am 73 years old. This talk was incredibly informative and helpful in explaining the procedure. Thank you very kindly. FRR
Modern technology is amazing. Thank you doctor for the presentation.

Be aware TAVR is dangerous, my mom and a few more people who were in pretty good shape for their age need a new valve. Not one lived more than a month after the procedure. Don't see it advertised on TV anymore about how successful it is that's because it's not.
Everything that I have seen, it has at least 5 years of success. I'm 80 and I cannot wait to recover from my symptoms. If I need another in 5 years, I'm up for that.
BTW, who advertised it? I've never seen an ad.
@@anonemouse3768 TAVAR was all over channel 2 at one time, lots of commercials on how wonderful it was. It was removed I would say about a year ago. But before that it was really out there on TV for a long time. I wish you the best of luck with your procedure. Keep in mind my mother just turned 90 at the time of her TAVAR surgery that was 6 years ago and her aortic stenosis was severe.
