About Me

I'm 58 & was diagnosed in Feb 22 with Aortic Valve Stenosis after collapsing at Aqua Aerobics! Cardiologists recommended I have OHS & mechanical replacement! I felt very frightened & looked into Tavi, but because of my age & my anatomy was not going to be an option on NHS but could go private! Lots of research & discussions with surgeons & his team , I was happy to go for OHS 🙏
