Cardiologist told us yesterday that this past week the TAVR procedure is approved for people with low risk. Someone in the thread said it is not done on bicuspid aortic valve. That is not true. It can be done.

I had a TAVR because I was too high risk for open heart surgery. I was born with a bicuspid valve and had it replaced with a tissue valve which failed after 4 years and had a TAVR inside the prosthetic valve because I was too high risk for surgery.
