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 obtainable known as Transcatheter aortic valve alternative (Tavr), however at the moment it had been solely authorized for sufferers who have been at larger danger of problems from typical heart-valve surgical procedure. It has since been authorized as an choice for the final inhabitants.

It seems that within the six years since my surgical procedure, there was appreciable progress, and trans-catheter procedures are actually obtainable for all 4 coronary heart valves (proven under).
