Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center Completes 1000th TAVR
February 7, 2025 – Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center completes its 1000th transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure. A TAVR procedure is a minimally invasive, advanced treatment for severe aortic stenosis. The milestone surgery was completed by structural cardiologist Dr. Augusto Villa.
“One of Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center’s hallmarks is our cardiac care, achieving this milestone means that we continue to be a trusted community resource when it comes to heart health,” said Erik Cazares, the hospital’s CEO. “We were the first hospital to complete open-heart surgery in Palm Beach County in the 1980s and have continually invested in some of the latest medical technology. This milestone is a full circle moment for us since the TAVR is a great option for someone who isn’t a candidate for open-heart surgery.”
When a patient has a tight or stiff aortic valve, called aortic stenosis, it reduces blood flow to the body. This can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Aortic stenosis can also lead to syncope, where patients can pass out, or even sudden cardiac death.
