I have watched several videos about the TAVR. This is easiest video to understand. Everyone that is needing TAVR needs to watch this. Thank you for this video

I may be having this done soon. Hope so and not open chest replacement. What was your recovery time right away or several days later. Glad your doing well.

I just had it done and if I could say is in preparation...get in as good of shape as you can. If you have any issues with your kidneys...have them looked at in preparation as well. Watch your blood pressure and walk as much as you can after...its a great thing.

my significant other has had quadruple & now must have the TAVR procedure due to calcium build up. I watched the video and it appears to be a better procedure than cracking his ribs again. He is not nervous, but I am. I'm already a widow after 30 yrs of marriage. Our family has been friends with my significant other for 30 years, as well. I hope my prayers and an excellent surgeon keep him alive & well for many more years.

Many thanks for your very helpful, clever video ! Brilliantly simple to follow even for people like myself not having medical degrees. I watched your presentation with alert interest because having aortic stenosis with a valve narrowed down to one squere cm.

Thanks for a very interesting video. A good friend just had to have this procedure done. I had the open heart procedure about 10 years ago. The recent visit to my doctor told me about this procedure. Now if and when my aortic valve becomes bad they could do this procedure. However, he told me the valve that was put in back about 10 years ago is still performing really well.

Is that a mechanical valve or a bio valve
