Having aorta valve replacement: I’m scared

Teresa,

Thank you, but I am not sure how my body will tolerate 9000 ft altitude after living at sea level for 4 years. I would be happy just to hike 1 mile slowly.

My cardiologist used a 26 mm Sapien 3 ultra resilia valve. This is a new valve. One of the reasons, was because of my age, this valve was designed to allow a future valve to be dropped inside of it.

That is interesting, Ray. I had not heard of this type of valve before. So, this is a synthetic valve?
