Great to hear that everything went well! I have a friend (former coworker) who had TAVR at age 97, and she just celebrated her 100th birthday! TAVR is a wonderful thing, indeed!

Hi Mary. That is a great scripture to fall back on! My aunt had a TAVR at about your age and did fine. She said it was a breeze compared to OHS. She had already had her aortic valve replaced and then after many years, needed another one and they... Read more.
