The hopeful future of AVR

[TomAlbers]

Not sure where it is headed but thought it would be a good read for this site in terms of the future of AVR surgery.
I am keeping my fingers crossed and prayers continuing for it to work out.

Hope all is well,

Tom

Hi Tom

just did a quick google on the Sapien valve which that article seems to report on. I'm not sure if that's any significant development over the other transcatheter valves which I have heard of in the past, so perhaps some one here may know more. Seems like a positive step. I guess that for me I'm now with a clicker ticker for life.

I had hoped most of my life to have this option made available for me.
