So I'm going in to get some stents. Christian sez it is gonna be quick. Don't really remember going out. Because I didn't. He brings me right back from going to sleep and says... I can't help you. What? Sez look here and proceeds to point at the TV and I see some kinda device point on my heart. Your valves are all closed. Really? You've been living on your secondary circulation. Really? Gonna have open heart surgery. Really... So I did have that surgery a couple days later and that was the years ago. Great doctor. Good man Thanks Christian.

Dr. Simpfendorfer was the physician who installed my new aortic heart valve via the Trans-catheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) method. He was highly professional throughout my interactions with him. He took lots of time to explain what he would be doing, the likelihood of success, and possible after-effects. After the surgery, he took additional time to explain how it had gone and what I could expect going forward.
