Institute at Hillcrest Healthcare System. “Without treatment, half of the people who feel sick from this condition will die within an average of two years.” One morning, after White could get no sleep due to his difficulty breathing, he went to his local hospital. He says he wasn’t sure, as he left his house, that it wasn’t for the last time. The only solution was to replace the diseased valve in White’s heart. However, although he led an extremely active lifestyle, White’s age made open-heart surgery too risky. But Muhammad had an alternative plan in place: a new, high-tech operation that would avoid the surgical risks and extend White’s life. During this procedure, doctors would replace White’s faulty valve with a man-made one. “Transcatheter aortic valve replacement was developed as a minimally-invasive alternative to open-heart surgery in high-risk patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis,” Muhammad says. “This exciting, minimally-invasive, life-saving therapy allows for treatment of severe aortic stenosis without open heart surgery.” White noticed the change almost immediately after the procedure. “I’ll never forget when I woke from the anesthetic how much better I felt,” he says. “It was immediate. I was like, ‘Golly, I can breathe again!’” “He was discharged home two days following the procedure,” Muhammad says of his patient. “He walked out of the hospital breathing better than he had in years.” “I feel fine, especially for my age,” White says. “I just feel very fortunate that I was able to participate in this procedure, which just did wonders for me.”
