Hello, Wondering if anyone has had a "single jet, very eccentric, seemingly paravalvular regurgitation" (as described by doctor after echocardiogram) after one year checkup post TAVR? I see my doctor on Monday to discuss but wanted to get some of your thoughts.

Unfortunately, the risk of stroke is present with TAVR and open heart surgery in general. All we can do is follow the post op instructions, take our meds as directed, and pray for a good outcome. It is hard not to worry about every possible complication, but we must learn... Read more.

Lucille, I have been wondering how the TAVR went and how you are doing. Glad to see your post. I too am on Eliquis and a low dose aspirin per day. My TAVR was in June, 2020 and it's still doing ok. I am also on other medications since I... Read more.
