| مستخلص: |
The article discusses the development of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), an approach to heart valve implants aimed at better allowing older and sicker patients to survive treatment, noting the use of valves made from cows' hearts and inserted through a catheter. Topics addressed include considerations of the risks and costs of the procedure, the history of cardiological research leading to the procedure, and its successful use in the United States. |
