A good friend of mine has been identified with some regurgitation in a few his coronary heart valves. We don’t know the seriousness but, and whether or not he would possibly want replacements. This made me look into the state-of-the-art in non-invasive procedures. Once I was having my aortic valve changed, there was a non-invasive process accessible known as Transcatheter aortic valve substitute (Tavr), however at the moment it had been solely accepted for sufferers who had been at increased threat of issues from standard heart-valve surgical procedure. It has since been accepted as an choice for the overall inhabitants. Nonetheless, that might nonetheless not have been an choice for me as a result of I had a congenital situation often known as a bicuspid aortic valve and Tavr doesn’t work for that.
It seems that within the six years since my surgical procedure, there was appreciable progress, and trans-catheter procedures at the moment are accessible for all 4 coronary heart valves (proven under).
