Tomorrow he is having a procedure to correct tricuspid valve regurgitation. It's not open heart, but rather done via an artery. He sounds positive...I'm just glad he is well enough to have this done.

It does sound positive that he is well enough yes and I hope it brings even more improvement.x
Thinking of you both Pasta x
He should feel a difference if it's successful. Not massive but an improvement all the same.
You’re poor brother, he really has been put through the wringer, hasn’t he.
Not to worry Pasta......Cardiac surgery as well as the surgeons are the best in the world.
wishing him all the best Pasta xx

Thank you all. As I said, he sounds quite positive, as he says he'll feel normal again. It's a new technique, and only done in a few hospitals, including Mt Sinai in NYC where he's having it done. He's been through a lot of tests...apparently he's an ideal candidate. He should be home by the weekend...fingers crossed.
Best wishes to him, Pasta. (and to you, too.)

Glad it went well, Pasta and looks good if he’s going home so soon. X

He's home! Just heard from my SIL.
A few years ago this would have been open heart surgery...with weeks of recovery. Modern medicine is amazing.
So pleased for you. It is indeed amazing what can be done x
What a relief and for you too, Pasta......horrid being so far away as you are...x
have only just seen the update. Am glad all went well, wishing him all the very best.
Hugs to you Pasta xx
