To the OP -

The procedure that you are inquiring about is called the “Transcatheter Aortic Valve Repair” (TAVR).
My best friend is a Cardiac surgeon and he has done hundreds of these cases - it is a very short procedure repairing the “out valve” of your heart. You wouldn’t be getting this procedure if you weren’t a good candidate so please stay calm, relax and know that TAVR is very safe and effective (see Mick Jagger).
The recovery time is only a few weeks and you will be as good as new……
Best wishes!

I was told that the TAVR procedure is only for high risk patients that are too weak for a traditional surgical procedure. I wasn’t considered eligible for it. That was back in 2020. Maybe things are different now, but I just want to make sure the OP is aware that he might not be eligible for TAVR. He might require a more traditional procedure.
