I would suggest addressing these questions towards your health care professional who has been following your care and/or recommending your procedure. There may be options at your particular health care system and/or existing health care plan that will allow for such a procedure. The choice in the particular valve that is used in an AVR depends on a number of factors such as age and candidacy for anticoagulation (if using a mechanical valve). Again, these are questions that are best directed to your surgeon.
I meant that 40 to 60k was what i would be expected to pay.
