First to offer revolutionary TAVR

The Chattanooga Heart Institute and CHI Memorial were the first in this region to offer TAVR!

TAVR–transcatheter aortic valve replacement–is a minimally invasive treatment for heart valve disease. This procedure is ideal for patients who aren’t candidates for open-heart surgery. TAVR is done through a small incision at the groin and patients are generally able to return home the next day! Our team has done more than 220 TAVR procedures.
