    Two questions which anyone here might be able to answer:---
    1 After installation of the new TAVR, what happens to the scrunched-up remnant of the existing natural valve? .... assuming the "parachute strings" can be cut away (or left in place anyone know?) surely the remnant becomes a source for the post-installation growth of nasties? This remnant of the natural valve left in place seems like it is not a very elegant total design solution to the problem.
    .
    2 Currently after installation of the new valve, whichever brand it is, the patient has to take daily blood thinners for the rest of his/her life with all the cost and nuiscance this entails. If our valve has better flow characteristics does this result in a lower possiblity of clotting and hence reduced post-op medication? Is there any way of predicting the likelihood of clotting from test measuring the valve characteristics?

    thanks
