When Jean began experiencing shortness of breath, fatigue, and tingling in her limbs on her daily four-mile walks, she went to her primary care physician. After testing, Jean was diagnosed with aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the heart’s aortic valve. CHI Franciscan cardiac specialists John Luber, MD and Ronald Reiter, MD performed TAVR, a minimally invasive procedure to repair her aortic valve. Within a week, Jean was back up and walking at full strength.
