Question - is there a replacement for the nickel - what if someone is allergic to nickel?

I am 73 years old and just had theTAVR valve replacement surgery 1 month ago. The hospital stay was overnight & I checked out the next day. There was a slight delay as a result of the incision bleed of the groin. The groin incision must clot completely before getting out of bed. Pain was not an issue for me. There was no immediate change in my energy. Actually, I felt about the same before & immediately after the surgery. After 1 month, I am still feeling about the same. I didn't have any severe symptoms before or after the surgery. I was fairly active before the surgery but am just now trying to become more active. Hoping for the best.

Very in formative and easy to understand.

What is better. I need mitral valve repair with OHS and I am scared to death of developing Pump Head from the heart lung machine. Mitral clip isn't available for people my age. Why are they still using simple wire to close sternotomy ? Why not use sternalock? Wire sounds medieval.

I had this done 3 years ago in Fl. So far so good!! Seeing the video is incredible to me! I went home next day.

I have liver cirrhosis. My doctors said TAVR needed due to compromised liver patients and dangers with the heart machine. I've got an Evolut valve now. Bicuspid valve repaired, lovin life.

I inherited my late fathers bicuspid Aortic valve condition, it killed him in 83 aged just 44, I had a mechanical valve implant (St Judes mechanical, Pyrolytic Carbon valve) CABG & AVR, along with a triple bypass in July last year 2023. 4 weeks later I had a heart attack which nearly killed me and I was de fibbed back to life and underwent another emergency procedure to fix the problem which was caused by the first procedure. 11 months on today and I'm fitter and stronger than I was before. I'd like to thank all the NHS staff at Warrington cardiac care unit, Liverpool heart and chest unit and my heart surgeon Mr Muir.

I had a bicuspid valve that was narrowing over time. I was pushed for surgery and regrettably was persuaded to get a bioprothetic via OHS. I have never recovered from the surgery and wish that I had pushed much harder for the TAVR. My MIL had a TAVR in 2017 and made a marvellous recovery. I am wallowing at about 60% of my pre-surgical capacity. I had a Edwards Inspiris model 600a. I just call it a donkey valve.

El doctor Julio Palmaz una eminencia en cardiologia es el inventor del stent ❤

Un gran invento ❤

A question for the doctors. Why is this procedure only for prohibitive risk patients? Why not for all patients? This procedure is probably a lot less risky than open heart surgery, so Why cant all patients benefit from reduced risk? is it because the mitral clip does not last long? Is it the case that placing in a younger patient makes no sense if the clip can only be expected to last 5 to 10 years? And not a big worry for older patients, because they are on their way out soon anyways?

Will i ever get a good job afterwards of 1 year

Jrevor vag

how much ?

This is quite helpful. My. Husband had TAVR last Thursday but didn’t get this level of aftercare detail.

thats scary I might have to have this done!! oh man!!!! so scary

Beautiful presentation thanks for your time

I have watched several videos about the TAVR. This is easiest video to understand. Everyone that is needing TAVR needs to watch this. Thank you for this video

Does Dr. Tirone David actually endorse Hypertension Pro X. Have watched his video on his research.

It's lethargic ,flappy?

I Have a leaking Mitral Valve mind in only mild but it might need fixing later, how long does the operation take are you put to sleep.

many thanks and well done, very well explained, my aortic valve needs replacement due to calcium build up and this is one of the option I discussed with my consultant today

What about the use of Viagra / Cialis ?

Beautiful!

Relatively good summary as to what to do & look out for after a TAVR. What I find works well is when patients aren’t just given a list, but an explanation as to each list item, as Amy the PA did in the beginning, and what the RN did regarding SOB after the procedure.

Great

Where is dr adams’s wedding ring…..

Amazing advancement.

Bicuspid is the most common heart birth defect. Mine was found only because my. Dr. Scheduled a scan due to smoking. Therefore thousands will never know they have a dangerous defect.

High blood pressure saw the most tavr success. It's weird

High blood pressure is common after surgery. For those that had a birth defect the heart is functioning normal for the first time. Likely no doctor will confirm this but I've read studies high blood pressure

Its released. so hopefully its good. not one to mince words. lol.

I am preparing to care for my mother-in-law after her TAVR. You are both so helpful. Her procedure will not be at Piedmont so know you are serving many others with accurate helpful information.

Why my son is not treated for his Heart Failure He is on floor T 2

I am having this procedure in a few weeks here at my local hospital. I am feeling better about it after watching this vid. I am surprised that one question didn't make the FAQ part of the presentation: "When may I resume sexual activity?"

Clinically, how long does it take for a patient to notice improvement? One week ? One month?

Your illustration is great and easy to understand. Thank yoou very much, Doctor!

This presentation is very clear and helpful for me. Thank you very much, Doctor Marcus!

Patient was 85. Interesting, is she still alive or died 30 days, 6 months, 1 year or ….after procedure? How did clinically patient look with MVA-1.2 cm2 vs severe MR and what was her MV gradient later? And finally, severely calcified PL and they still clipped it? Brave cardiologist or reckless?

Thank you gor the information, my doctor diagnose me,,having mitral stenosis,,but i dont have money for the surgery

My husband just had this surgery June 27, 23. Went home the next day and has felt so much better, with a lot more energy . Thankful for this surgery

Fred Milla saved my life with annuloplasty on my Mitral and Tricuspid valves. Dr Adams in NYC stole him from Atl but I will be forever in this man's debt.

Can you prevent progress?

Very nice explanation and slowing progression of severe aortic stenosis using medication

Hello sir what is the cost for mitral valve clip procedure??

I had aortic stenosis conclusion last 2022 with the result in my 2d echo. Please help me

Hi Dr. After TAVR what excercise we have to do and tablets have to be taken lifelong

What is the difference between a Cardiac Surgeon, Cardiovascular Surgeon,and Cardiothoracic surgeon?

I just had it done and if I could say is in preparation...get in as good of shape as you can. If you have any issues with your kidneys...have them looked at in preparation as well. Watch your blood pressure and walk as much as you can after...its a great thing.

The contrast can kill you!
