Update for my husband. He is having a heart cath in the morning so they can look closer at the aortic stenosis and will do a right/left of the other arteries. The doctor said this is the step before the tvar. My husband also will see a cardiologist EP cuz they said there are rhythm signs and symptoms during the latest monitor.

Hello @elina1
It sounds like your husband has been monitored quite well. I hope that his heart cath will provide the doctors with some helpful information about the condition of his heart. Has he also had a CT scan of the heart? This is usually done prior to valve surgery.

I look forward to hearing from you about the results of his cath (if you feel comfortable posting about it).
