CLEVELAND-- A nonsurgical heart valve replacement that avoids open heart surgery has been federally approved for low-risk patients. On Friday, the Food and Drug Administration announced its approval of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) for treatment of aortic stenosis in low-risk patients. Aortic stenosis is a condition where the heart’s aortic valve, which leads blood from the heart to the rest of the body, hardens. It can cause chest pain and shortness of breath in patients, and the condition cardiac valve replacement can lead to heart failure. “I was doing less and less and less, and it was because I was breathless, but I didn't realize it,” said Arlene Bryant, of Twinsburg. The 74-year-old said she began experiencing shortness of breath while walking, climbing stairs and doing other simple tasks. Her cardiologist recommended replacement of her aortic valve. Bryant, who was considered low-risk, underwent TAVR in April at University Hospitals, which took part in a trial of the procedure among low-risk patients.
