Is Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Available to Patients with a Dacron Graft?

https://www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com – Can patients with a prior Dacron graft and surgical tissue valve get a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)? It depends on key factors. To address this important question, we spoke with Dr. Ibrahim Sultan, Chief of Cardiac Surgery at UPMC in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In this video, Dr. Sultan explains when TAVR is appropriate for patients with a bovine pericardial valve and Dacron graft, and when repeat surgery may be a safer long-term option. In this video, Dr. Sultan discusses: How age, graft anatomy, and valve size impact TAVR eligibility Why CT imaging is critical in evaluating the valve-in-valve approach When reoperation may be preferred for younger or small-valve patients The safety and success of both options when properly selected What patients should ask their care team before choosing a path If you would like to schedule an appointment or seek a second opinion with Dr. Ibrahim Sultan, please call (412) 850-4491 or visit: https://www.heart-valve-surgery.com/s....
