How do I know if I am a candidate for transcatheter aortic valve replacement?
Talk to your treating cardiologist and/or cardiac surgeon about whether you are a candidate for transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Currently, patients who are at low risk for surgery should undergo surgical aortic valve replacement. However, there are currently ongoing clinical trials to evaluate whether low risk patients should be offered transcatheter aortic valve replacement as well.
