I had an aneurysm from the annulus fixed at the same time as a tissue valve (Bentals procedure) 9 years ago my choice was influenced by my love of diving and my career involves either shift work or being on call and up all hours I knew that warfarin would be impossible to manage. I’m now 60 I hope to get another 5 years or so and still be able to afford health insurance as in New Zealand people die waiting for heart surgery. I figured another tissue valve should get me to 80 when if I’m still around they should have perfected the TAVR only time will tell
