Hello Ms. Strong: Your heart valve surgery testimony is very helpful. From what i read bout TAVR, at this time the procedure is reserved for those people having medical conditions for which other types of surgery pose too great a risk. Without telling me what particular other concurrent medical issues you may or may not have had at that time, could you please tell me if this was the reason they chose you for TAVR? Great thanks and gratitude, Joe.

Can someone replace a failed mechanical valve with a tissue valve? is a ross procedure still possible after the mechanical valve has failed in 20 years?
