    Thank you! 12 years somehow

    Concerned parent of 16y.o

    Hi and welcome. Is there any problem with your daughter’s BAV where it might need to be replaced? Our grandson has been monitored since birth with a similar scenario.

He stopped his Eliquist two nights ago so that causes me some concern. The ablation he underwent three months ago seems to...

    Home from TAVR

    Rich, I think I was more emotional post-avr. I had issues with the trauma inflicted by open heart surgery; my brain didn’t like what I had willing subjected my body to. I’m glad you’re doing well.

    Word from Superbob’s son is that the surgery went very well, and the surgeon is pleased with the outcome. Now all he has to do is Stay The Course!!😊
