Short advice is pursue the TAVR. I was going for that procedure until a blockage in my LAD showed up. Now doing open heart bars in teams opinion for better overall outcome. We’ll see. I dread it.

I understand now why they recommend open.
It looks like they can’t leave the LAD with 70% blockage- bypass needed.
My husband had open heart for coronary bypass- successful. The recovery takes more time, of course.
I remember being told that cath results decide if open heart is needed.
