In this minimally invasive procedure a new valve is inserted without removing the old, damaged valve. These valves are available in multiple sizes to better suit the patient\u2019s needs. Various clinical studies have shown that a TAVR procedure will result in a lower incidence of both death and stroke compared with traditional open-heart surgery.<\/p><p>A TAVR type procedure has also been shown to shorten recovery time, which allows patients to return to everyday activities sooner and with less pain.<br \/>In most cases, patients begin walking within one day of their TAVR procedure. Average length of hospital stay is around 3 days, depending on the patient. Patients are asked to follow up with Dr. Molina at 7 days, at 1 month, at 3 months, and also at 1 year after the TAVR procedure.<br \/>Dr. Molina states that most patients may be required to take some type of mild blood thinners like aspirin after a TAVR procedure.<\/p><p>Patients have reported significant quality of life improvements within no more than 30 days, including the ability to easily take care of themselves.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab6de2c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ab6de2c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90ad7c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"90ad7c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"301\" src=\"https:\/\/expatsmags.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/replac-01a-768x301.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-4811\" alt=\"TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) - udicam\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expatsmags.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/replac-01a-768x301.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expatsmags.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/replac-01a-300x118.jpg 300w, https:\/\/expatsmags.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/replac-01a-1024x402.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/expatsmags.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/replac-01a.jpg 1032w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8fe120f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8fe120f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f597cb2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f597cb2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;full&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ff1783 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3ff1783\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>My mother-in-law had three heart valves replaced over 20 years ago, having had the open-heart surgical method.
