Physician assistant Laura Altman gave Dr Oz an update on Doris’s case, which included shortness of breath from simple activities, even though she is just 42 years old. He spoke with Doris and her husband, explaining that she has thicker valves than the average person.

Her husband Raymund was alarmed that his wife needed to have surgery to correct this problem. The echo test performed on Doris found pressure in her lungs were five times a normal reading. Dr Oz was amazed that she could breathe.

    My wife had breathing problem. Angiogram showed tow flaps were calcified. Also it showed porcelain aorta. So open heart surgery was ruled out. Dr. Rajendra Makkar at Cedar Sinai in Beverly Hills, CA used the trans catheter procedure going from both the groins put the Edwards (Irvine, CA) bovine valve. Also a pace maker was installed. She has atrial fibrillation so she is put on Coumadin = a baby aspirin. After a week, she developed some blisters on left leg and thigh. She was hospitalized four nights in the hospital and Drs. were baffled as the blisters did not respond to vancomycin and Zosyn. She is home and under nursing care.
