Blake Medical Center in Bradenton has performed its 500th Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement procedure.
TAVR is an alternative treatment option for patients with symptomatic aortic valve stenosis, including those who are not candidates for open-heart valve surgery.
Blake was the first to bring the TAVR procedure to Manatee County and has performed more TAVR cases than any other hospital in Manatee County.
TAVR is a procedure that allows specially trained teams to replace a diseased aortic heart valve without open-heart surgery. The procedure eliminates the need for the heart-lung machine and doesn’t require stopping the heart.
• In February, 12 senior home care providers at Home Helpers of Bradenton were recognized for their exceptional service to the Bradenton area senior community during the 2020 year.
