Cathleen Weed TAVR is amazing and honestly a short 10 years ago this wasn't the option it is now. If you could compare the two - open heart vs TAVR - you'd realize how exceedingly lucky you are . I've had both and it was night and day. Technology is incredible. You'll do great and with a little rest you'll be back to feeling 20 years younger. A new aortic valve makes you feel like you had a lung transplant. It's an incredible feeling.
Peggy Denham Just what i needed to hear, thank you Cathleen.
