Whether I am a candidate for sure will be determined by further steps and testing in a cardiology clinic by surgeons, etc. The echocardiogram isn't enough (and that is all we have right now) for that determination. It just indicates the problem not for sure how to solve it. The procedure he was talking about is called TAVR.. He hopes I will qualify for that because it is much easier than the old way. thank for your prayer. Much appreciated!Your in our prayers, and I am excited to hear they will not have to crack your chest open and your a candidate for the newer type surgeries.
I've read they can make a small incision between your rib for the valve replacement so recovery is super quick.
