Hi Bonnie..I had severe aortic blockage..had the replacement 2 years ago.. .no problems...I was 86,,,

Hi Bonnie,
Good luck but if I may suggest, get the TAVR procedure sooner than later. The stenosis gets worse with time and there are now some great aortic valves that last almost 15 years, and the surgery takes only 2 hours tops. You will feel much better after its done. I was playing volleyball on the beach 1 week after my surgery, and that was 4 years ago. Cheers. Thanks for the hug.

Thanks very much Andy! Your post has alleviated my stress. I appreciate your being in touch!

Hi, I just joined this group. To respond to your question, I had a TAVR Aortic valve replaced in 2017. The whole process
took only 2 hours and they kept me overnight in the hospital for observation and sent me home the next day. It was a walk on the beach. No pain or complications. The groin (femur arteries) area where they went in was bruised black which is normal for about 4-5 days. The valve is working fine and may last another 10 years. Good Luck. You will be fine and home after just 1 night in the hospital just for observation.

Good for you.yes it takes awhile to see all the doctor s and tests before the surgery is performed...
