Those will make up the Rick and Les-ley Stone Art Collection, which will be

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

This revolutionary new heart procedureis an advanced minimally invasive treatment

option for patients suffering from severe aortic stenosis. Severe aortic stenosis is a very serious

heart condition. And for some patients, traditional

treatments such as open-heart surgery may not

be an option. However, there is new hope with

the TAVR procedure. TAVR has already helped

thousands of patients with aortic stenosis return

to the things they enjoy in life.

Contact us to find out if you may be a candidate for TAVR.
