Details.
A minimally invasive treatment option for patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis who are at extreme, high, intermediate, or low surgical risk. The procedure may use balloon-expandable SAPIEN or self-expanding CoreValve and can involve transfemoral or other access routes. Mount Sinai describes advanced imaging evaluation, conscious sedation in many cases, and coordinated discharge planning, medication adherence, follow-up, and coordination with the patient's cardiologist and primary care physician.
