Can a heart valve be replaced without open heart surgery? Yes. In fact, TAVI could be an option for patients with aortic stenosis who are experiencing symptoms.5 With transcatheter aortic valve replacement, you don't need to have your chest opened. This less invasive option can be an option...

Heart valve replacement is a life-saving treatment, but it is rarely a long-term solution. Both mechanical and biological valves have their own drawbacks. Patients with mechanical valves must take drugs for the rest of their lives to prevent blood clotting. ...
rheumatic heart disease requiring early valve replacement. Current prosthetic heart valves are fixed in diameter, so typically need to be replaced every few years; children receiving their first replacement before age 2 will need as many as five high-risk open-heart operations before reaching ...
“Our valve is presently being designed for replacement of the pulmonary valve, but eventually may also be able to be used for the aortic valve.”The UCLA team also has used thin film nitinol successfully in other biomedical applications such as stents – short narrow metal mesh tubes inserted...
Over time, calcium deposits can form in the aortic valve and cause it to narrow. As a result, the heart may weaken from additional exertion needed to pump enough blood through the smaller opening. Severe aortic valve stenosis generally requires heart valve replacement to improve blood flow. ...
