About Me

I was diagnosed with Aortic Stenosis in mid December 2024 and waited until the New Year to have my surgery via TAVR. At the age of 77 and an Asthmatic with COPD my recovery has been slower than I had hoped. Now I'm home and feeling so very much better. TAVR is so less invasive than open heart surgery. and
