Has anyone here had a TAVR procedure for aortic stenosis?

Hi, I’m 83 years old and have been diagnosed with moderate aortic stenosis. One of the findings in a recent echocardiogram was that I may have a bicuspid aortic valve. I definitely don’t want to go through open heart surgery when my condition becomes severe. Has anyone here had TAVR having a bicuspid valve? Do you have any suggestions for interventional cardiologists or medical centers where they have performed many TAVR procedures? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Heart & Blood Health Support Group.

The Stern Center has multiple locations in several states. Since the center was formed in 1920 it has greatly expanded. My surgeon was Dr Basil M Paulus who I believe pioneered the TAVR procedure. I see him at the Germantown, TN location.
