Transcatheter definition

Transcatheter means we use a catheter (a small flexible and hollow tube) to place a new aortic valve in the heart. We make a small opening in a large artery or through the front of the chest, and then thread the catheter and new valve into the right position. Unlike open heart surgery, there is no need to open the chest for this procedure.
