Aortic stenosis can return after a TAVR procedure due to several factors:

- Valve Degeneration: Over time, the transcatheter valve can wear out or become calcified.
- Incomplete Expansion: The valve may not have fully expanded during the initial procedure.
- Patient-Specific Factors: Individual health conditions, such as other heart, lung, or kidney issues, can affect the valve's longevity.

Whether you need another TAVR will depend on your specific condition and overall health. It's essential to discuss your options with your cardiologist, who can evaluate your situation and recommend the best course of action.
