Hi, a great resource is the website: http://www.heartvalvesurgery.com It was started by Adam Pick who had open heart surgery in 2006. This website is invaluable. It has input from people who have valve issues, educational videos, recommendations for medical centers, interventional cardiologists, etc. You can post your condition and usually you will see posts from people who have had similar issues; plus recommendations for excellent medical centers and doctors. Hope this information helps in some way.
I have moderate aortic stenosis, mild mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. I’m 83. When I need a medical procedure, I’m hoping to get the least invasive: TAVR. However, I don’t know if I’m a candidate for this procedure. Best of luck to you!
