There's a bed available for Harrison so we'll be heading off to the Royal Brompton hospital tomorrow for a valve replacement procedure on Thursday. At this stage we don't know what time he'll be going to the catheter lab but hope to be able to update on that tomorrow evening.
We're hopeful that this will be a short blog this time. In theory a valve replacement via cardiac catheter is now a straightforward procedure. However, as we all know, Harrison has never read the text books and likes to do things his own way! I've asked him to give his cardiologists (and us!) an easy ride this time!
Whilst I'm packing our bags and preparing for tomorrow's admission, I thought you might be interested to read an article on pulmonary valve replacement written by the Royal Brompton team in 2016, featuring Harrison's cardiologist (Dr Michael Rigby).
And here's a video on the procedure:
