Are you talking about having a transcatheter valve replacement or do you need a stent for coronary artery disease?

@cb91764, I am also facing transcatheter valve replacement (TAVR) and looking for information/comments from someone who has had this procedure or knows someone who has had it. I realize your posting was nearly 1 1/2 years ago but hopefully you can help me with advice or comments. Thank you, Larry B.

I'm in the monitor stage for a valve replacement, and TAVR is the only way I would do it when the time comes. All of my surgeries happed before 40 and I have lived long enough for tremendous scar tissue and lesions to develop in my chest and they are causing problems for me on their own. They new my Aortic Valve was on its way out in 2005 but the recommendation from Dr. Perot at Memorial Herman in Houston was to not rush having my chest opened as insert able (TAVR) was looming technology. Now it is here. I can't offer experience on TAVR, however my experience with chest opening procedures has its drawbacks. I wish I could travel back in time and have my birth defect fixed with a stint. My life would be better today.
