More patients considered for microscopic incision used as an alternative to open-heart surgery according to new research published by New England Journal of Medicine

TAVR is used for patients with aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the large valve that restricts blood flow. Dr. Michael Mack discussed TAVR and Baylor Scott & White's history in TAVR research.
