"Trans-catheter" refers to using small tubes, or catheters, to thread very small surgical tools to reach the heart. Specialists who perform this procedure include cardiac, or heart, surgeons and thoracic surgeons, who are specialists in the care of the chest area. These heart care experts perform the TAVR procedure in the Cardiac Catheterization Lab at Rex Healthcare.
