I'm two weeks post TAVR & doing more than I have in quite some time, feeling great. I'm vacinated so no longer masking outside. I'm am still avoiding inside spaces & masking when I can't avoid going inside.
Is there any data yet on how vacinated TAVR folks do if they acquire a breakthrough Covid infection? Being I have to pre-medicate now, it seems to make some sense to be careful in avoiding any unnecessary infection risk, when possible. Wondering if there is any data yet?

Deena Z Good question, John, given CDC has published less restrictive guidelines for mask use. I would ask your cardiologist or surgeon. I will try to remember to ask my cardiologist when I see him in June and write back his answer. I still wear my mask when I am inside and any crowed outdoor places and I am 2.8 months post open heart surgery, but through the sternum.
