This was a very helpful podcast. Thank you very much.
Superb in all respects. I am a retired radiologist who has done arteriography and was very impressed by the whole presentation. Thank you.
Very informative, I am being evaluated for the TAVR procedure.
Your podcast was most informative and reassuring. Dr. Brad Proctor (cardiologist in Tuscaloosa) told me that since I was an English and speech instructor, I would enjoy conversing with you because you are British.
Both Dr. Proctor and our family physician, Dr. R. William Davis (in Vernon), have stressed that you are the BEST. I look forward to meeting you.
I am a candidate for TAVR. This was very informative and as eased all my concerns. Hearing the odds of complications is also a relief.
Looking forward to being healthy for years to come.
Excellent discussion of TAVR. I am more comfortable heading into my evaluation session. Good discussion of TAVR vs. traditional surgery.
Glad that outcome trials were mentioned. Would suggest discussing post-op activities; how long before back to “normal” activities?
I would like to get a transcript. Thanks for the information.

Thank you. Excellent.
I found the podcast extremely informative. I reviewed information from the Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic while researching TAVR. This type of information is very helpful for patients. Thank you!
Thanks a million for this wonderful content! This sure does help me build sound confidence in moving forward with my procedure!

Very helpful, thank you for your time and knowledge
Very informative and reassuring.
The pod cast was clear and informative – a LOT of information in a relatively short time. This was not my first listen to a podcast on the TAVR procedure, but much has changed in the ten years since I first researched it. I would suggest that anyone listening have a pad of paper and pen ready to write down the questions that occur while listening. A couple were answered later in the podcast, but I still came away with about eight questions to ask. I’m sure there will be updates as the trials reach the 10+ year marks.
Very Educational and helpful.
Thank you.
Very informative
Wow! I am actually excited about having this procedure done! Very informative podcast and a must for patients facing the possibility of having the TAVR done!
Very helpful. Stepfather is having procedure
5/1/24.
Listened to podcast 07/25/24 as instructed by Dr. Ahmed for upcoming appointment 08/01/24. Very informative and comforting, even though now four years old. Excited to hear if advancements that have been made.
Dear Dr. Mustafa Ahmed, I will require an aortic valve replacement soon. I’m a 69 year old male. I am diabetic and had a heart attack in 2004. I’ve spoken to TAVR medical people and a surgeon. The TAVR approach is appealing compared to open heart surgery, but according to the surgeon the replacement valve using the TAVR approach has a much shorter life than the open heart surgery. What is your unbiased open on the valve life? Thank you
Still did noti understand the whole tape
Thank you for the excellent information! This helps me to learn and understand the procedures not to be so worried!
Thanks for the information it was a lot to take in.
Very good. I do need a transcript. My husband does not hear well. Thank you
Thank you, huge help. Are there any updates on valve performance? I dont see anything here more recent.
Very informative. This procedure is amazing.
informative podcast, Thank you !
Very informative
This information was very informative and helpful for our understanding of the procedure!!!Thank You
s this the same as your publication in 2015? I read / watched that presentation and found it helpful even though outdated. Is it not rue that in the past ten years there have been many advances in the TAVR procedures? Have you done a more recent podcast or article on “Everything you need to know about TAVR”?? If so i would love a link! I am 77 and being referred for the TAVR. I would like to know the most recent info on the procedure including any evaluations. I have already had a CABG 12 years ago so am eligible for and being referred for the TAVR. I have a choice as to where it is done as i am covered by the VA and Kaiser Medicare advantage. Thank uou!
This is very good information concerning the fact I’m 89 and will be 90 in June
Looking forward to my testing on the 18th. Thanks for the sharing of this information it makes me fill much better
