Abstract

Until several months ago, I had severe aortic stenosis. Then something remarkable happened. I received a new aortic valve without having my chest opened. And more good things were to come. I would go home the next day, be back in my office 72 hours later, and resume full activities (including daily runs on my treadmill) less than 2 weeks after undergoing a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Immensely gratified by this sequence of events, I thought that the specifics of my case might prove interesting and be of value to candidates for a TAVR and to their doctors as well. Hence, this report.
