About Me

Awesome story >.I had Aortic Valve replacement , I had the TAVR PROCEDURE . Through the groin. To say the least i was a bundle of nerves prior . But let me tell you when i work up ,surgery was only 1 1/2 hrs i said "did i have the surgery " meaning no pain . no fog from being under. no pain medication and i went home the next day . its now 11/5/18 and i have no problems i walk everywhere and im not short of breath . So happy i did this surgery with TAVR.
