I have a history of AS and now my aortic valve area per echocardiogram is measuring at .75cm. I have heard about a new procedure were you do a mini chest opening for MV how about this for AV replacements. I am 66 yrs. old and in good heath otherwise, my ejection fraction is still 60% with some mild LVH. Also I have been told this does not run in families but 2 of my older brothers have it, my father and his sister, is this just a strange twist of fate. Thank You
