Can TAVR Procedure Cause Pain In Leg?
Hi, My dad (age 87) had TAVR procedure 2 months ago, was fine (driving, walking with walker on Monday), on Tuesday he began having difficulty lifting his left leg while walking. Would this be related to his heart procedure or is this common? thank you

Hello, welcome to health care magic.
Sinde your father was moving around fine since past week it is highky unlikely that this complication is due to TAVR. You should see a neurologist if there is no history or evidence of trauma to the limb
