From Joyce, wired sister from Maine shares this with us: Maine Medical Center, where I had the TAVR done is now advertising the procedure. I think it is good because it will let lots of folks aware of it. MMC was one of the 20 hospitals in the country doing it. Im sure there is more now. It is new to our country only being approved since Nov 2011. I had mine July 2013. It has been preformed in other countries for about 20 years. There is still not a whole lot of statistics yet. It is a great procudure for those too sick to undergo open heart surgery. That was me. I had so many other pre-existing conditions it was not posssible to do open heart. It turned out I had serious complications but I am a tough cookie. I am here and plan on being around a long time to bug everyone thanks to my Cardiac Team. They are great!
