I am so happy to have found this site. I have severe aortic stenosis . My echo says "critical aortic stenosis". I want to have the TAVR procedure and need to find a hospital and surgeon. I live in Honolulu and as an island we do not have the volume of patients as on the mainland. My cardiologist is suggesting Cleveland and I am also looking at Mayo clinic in Scottsdale. This is very scary. I am a very active 76 yr old. Anyone have experience at either of these clinics for TAVR?

I was 77 when I had my Aortic valve replaced ( Did not qualify for TAVR)). My experience was very positive but everyone is different.
