Ich möchte in meinen Kontoauszügen unkenntlich machen, in welchem Lidl ich einkaufen gehe (nur die Adresse/Ort), da man dadurch Rückschlüsse auf den Wohnort meiner Freundin ziehen kann (Wir leben noch getrennt, aber wenn ich sie besuche, kann es schon mal sein, dass ich einkaufen fahre und auch bezahle).

Und ja, tut mir leid, falls das eine dämliche Frage ist, aber ich bin einfach durch die Interaktion mit dem JC in den letzten Monaten komplett geschädigt.

I am 43, diagnosed with BAV, and they will do the replacement in two weeks.

I am thinking about playing it "risky" and going the "modern technology/science" route...which means bovine pericardial tissue that was heavily modified and does not need to be stored in aldehyde solution (I am quoting Edwards Technology here) which is the main culprit for higher calcification rates.

The risky part is, that I am hoping that TAVI (valve in valve replacement) will be finally approved for younger people in the near future...so I can get 20+20 years out of it with no big impact in my daily life and sleep.

What I am really unsure about is that Edwards is overselling/overestimating their product. Real data only exists for about 5 years (well, it is a new technology) and the simulation data that showed 50 years of mechanical resilience was in a sterile environment without biological agents (I assume this is the main problem for valves).

So, yeah, long story short...what is your take on all of this? Did anyone go this route and risked it with a 'RESILIA' valve?

Thanks.

Can you prick your stomach (for example) instead of the finger?

Thanks

Hit me with everything you got.

I (43, M, BAV) have 18 days to decide between them. 😵‍💫

Thanks.
