About Me

Been watching my murmur for years and aortic valve replacement is needed. Its possible that mitral valve may be replaced at same time although it is not at a critical stage. I would prefer TVAR but surgeon is going to make chest insisions . and go in that way. Anyone have experience with this type of surgery? How was the recovery process and how long was the hospital staying
