Hi Joe
I had TAVR 4/8/20. I’m 60 and active. I’ve had a heart murmur since childhood but no f/u. In Dec I found out I had AS and had my work up. I have a 4.2 cm aorta and had a 26 Sapien 3 valve placed. The plan is to have valve in valve in the future. This is all pretty new in my age group. I have longevity in my family too. I feel awesome now and am able to do as much as I want. Time will tell I guess but so far I’m really happy with my decision.
Good luck!

Nancy Chavez They thought I had bicuspid but found it was a defect of some sort and it was so bad it made it hard to tell what happened to it. Luckily my anatomy lended itself to TAVR whatever it was. The webinar is coming at a perfect time for you. Keep us posted on what you decide.
