A member asked:
Critical aortic stenosis, tavr denied by ins. open heart not an option due to radiation damage, 3b nsclc. tentative prognosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds very serious.: Your cardiologist should appeal to your insurance company. Your case is very unusual because of previous chest wall radiation. Prognosis without procedure depends on aortic valve area, pressure gradient, native myocardium, and a lot of other factors. You need to ask your cardiologist.
