This was in this morning's Email. Sorry, adding the attatchment is above my skill, so just google TAVR if you want.
Well folks,
Had a pretty good scare yesterday, he was in pretty bad shape. His oxygen level hit the floor, his blood pressure hit the roof, hospital found he had fluids everywhere they shouldnt be and he had mild influenza. He was having congestive heart failure.
Sat in ER with him all day, they admitted him and whipped him back into shape. His has severe aortic stenosis, a-fib and just a crazy heartbeat. He dodged the undertaker. He is still strong enough to have the TAVR procedure and is awaiting transport back to USC Med Center to do just that. Without it could he has a couple months to a year or so left.
Please see the attachment in this email if you are so inclined. Best one I found that explains the who, what and where facts about this procedure
