Sending you best wishes for the op and a speedy recovery.

The cardiologist I have seen does a lot of TAVI ops. I've just listened to a talk he gave to other medics about TAVI - it's very reassuring.
Hope all goes well.

All the very best to you Ruby.

I've just come in on this and am sending you all my best wishes Ruby you will be up and about in no time at all xxx

Ruby wishing you all the best
It will be worth it in the end
you are in safe hands.

Just close your eyes & picture yourself and your little dog sitting out out in the garden in the warm sunshine.

Please hold that thought Ruby
Because it will happen!

Sending you more good wishes ruby. Keep us up dated, won't you? (((hugs)))

Ruby, I am glad you will be sorted soon. Keep smiling!

Sending you best wishes ruby; I have not heard of this operation but it sounds much less invasive - hoping it will make you feel so much better

You have the collective best wishes of the world's most caring grans enfolding you; everything will be ok, I am sure, Ruby. You will feel better in no time! ??

Wishing you well, ruby. It sounds a much less invasive procedure than a traditional approach to heart valve replacement. Hoping you feel so much better afterwards with much more energy.

Best wishes x

Sounds like the medics are keen to do the op in the very best way for you but I can understand your feelings about it all. I hope it all goes smoothly and you recover well.

It is wonderful what can be done now and this is so much less invasive. It sounds ideal and I hope that you can take a deep breath and dive in with so much to look forward to when you are feeling better.

All my very best wishes ruby- I'm sure all will be well and you're going to have a whole new lease of life! Thinking of you.

A bit scary, Ruby, but it sounds as though they are taking good care of you. Best wishes.

There is quite a bit about TAVI on the net if you want to know more, though I am sure they will answer any questions.
This is a good leaflet from Papworth Hospital. www.papworthhospital.nhs.uk/docs/leaflets/PI43_Transcatheter_Aortic_Valve.pdf Your hospital may not do it exactly the same, but it will be similar. There is a photo of a valve - it looks rather pretty, like a tiny bangle with a polythene lining. That is a 1penny piece for size comparison.

All good wishes fro me too

Thinking of you Ruby and wishing you a speedy recovery

Sending love and best wishes Ruby, your'e in safe hands.

Love and hugs, wishing you all the best! ??

Seems like a wonderful operation - I hope it goes smoothly.

Oh Ruby, you poor thing, you've really been through the mill, haven't you? Sending you my very best wishes and (((((hugs))))). I do hope the op goes smoothly and you're well on the road to recovery very soon

Wishing you a speedy recovery Ruby ( can't post you the grapes...but others have sent virtual ones) hope that you will see this thread and it cheers you up.?

All the best for a speedy recovery, Ruby

A friend had his heart valve done this way. It is a lot less invasive. It was successful and his recovery seemed quite fast.
