Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in El Paso, Texas
We perform TAVR to offer you as many surgical and postsurgical benefits as possible.
At Las Palmas Del Sol Healthcare, we use TAVR surgery to treat failing aortic valves that are unable to open properly. This minimally invasive procedure can potentially lead to less scarring, a shorter hospital stay and a faster recovery.

We address a variety of acute and chronic aortic conditions, such as:
- Aortic stenosis
- Aortitis
- Coarctation
- Intramural hematoma
- Marfan syndrome
- Penetrating atherosclerotic ulcers
- Thoracic aortic aneurysms
- Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms
About TAVR surgery
Our goal is to make you as comfortable as possible before and after your procedure. To accomplish this, we work to keep you informed of every step of the surgical and recovery process.
Our TAVR surgical process
During a TAVR procedure, your surgeon will use imaging technology to insert a thin, flexible tube, called a catheter, through your blood vessel and into the aortic valve. The new valve is secured into place through the catheter, and once it is secured, the catheter is removed. After surgery, our postoperative care process begins, providing you with all the pertinent information you may need going forward.
Postoperative care
Our specialists prepare you and your physician for life after TAVR, using valuable education to guide you on how to best manage your thoracic aortic disease.
