leaky aortic valve

Posted by cburris @cburris, May 4 4:58pm

My husband had his aortic valve replaced Jan. 2014. He also has stage 4 HHC liver cancer.
Our cardiologist said replacement is too risky and also TVAR procedure is also too risky. Plan is just to monitor at this point.
Any suggestions from someone who has had this issue.

Ask an electrophysiologist or two for their opinion. I can't disagree, nor can I agree, with your cardiologist (I'm not a physician), but the next step up in expertise may have a different opinion.
