You might ask around to see if there is anyone using the Da Vinci Robotic Surgery System. That's what they used on Spaw when no one else would touch him as it was too dicey. They didn't have one here, yet, when I had my new valve put in, but if they ever have to do anything else, I will lobby for that, as the least invasive, before submitting to a second jump start as bb mentioned.

Regardless, please keep us posted as you are able and good health to you!
