Are Incisions In Chest The Best Way To Go For Aortic Valve Replacement?
We are nervous about the groin procedure because my husband recently had a kidney transplant and feel that small incisions in the chest are the best way to go for Aortic valve replacement surgery. What is your opinion. He is doing well with his kidney transplant.

hi
aortic valve replacement surgery is done through incision in the chest that is sternal incision
there is nothing to do with the groin for an AVR untill & unless the surgery is added with CABG with grafts from the lower limbs
do not worry you can go ahead with the surgery
take care
