Rehacer el Reemplazo de la Válvula Aórtica Transcatéter ha Demostrado ser Efectivo y Seguro
Los investigadores de Cedars-Sinai son líderes en la innovación y el uso del reemplazo valvular aórtico transcatéter (TAVR) con válvulas expandibles con balón. Ahora demuestran que volver a hacer los procedimientos TAVR son seguros y eficaces en comparación con situaciones en las que pacientes con perfiles de riesgo similares se someten al mismo procedimiento por primera vez.
Redo Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Proven Effective, Safe
Cedars-Sinai investigators are leaders in the innovation and use of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with balloon-expandable valves. They now show that redo TAVR procedures are both safe and effective when compared with situations in which patients with similar risk profiles undergo the same procedure for the first time.
