Sapien Valve

The Sapien Valve is a specially designed medical device used in a procedure called Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). It’s a small, artificial valve inserted into the heart via a catheter, usually through the leg, to replace a damaged or narrowing aortic valve without open-heart surgery. This minimally invasive approach helps improve blood flow, reducing symptoms like fatigue and shortness of breath associated with valve disease. The Sapien Valve is made of bio-friendly materials that mimic a natural valve, allowing it to function effectively and improve patients’ quality of life with less recovery time.
