Interestingly this seems to have also been treated non surgically

Interesting. I have been in process of dealing with a mechanical aortic valve supposed malfunction from possible panus. I consistently self tested for 12 years and have used Lovenox if INR below 2.0. TEE unsuccessful due a very large hiatal hernia in my thoracic cavity. I am in a catch 22 as GI surgeon does not want to repair it as questions of my heart function. Do you know where/what/how they fixed it non surgically. I had multiple echos last one yesterday and as you can imagine, do not want to have another open heart surgical procedure. I was also told yesterday that AVR surgery has improved significantly in the last 3 years? Is this a vicious rumor to make me feel better? Thanks for any further info you have on the above.
