This appears to require going to a “center of excellence” to get these outcomes, but it sounds like a good option.

Moves the pulmonary valve to the aortic’s location?!

Avoid heart/valve problems by exercising daily!
It does not have to be intensive workout.
Just 20-25 minutes of walking at rapid pace, preferably carrying 1 lb wrist weights. OK I have no stats to prove it, but I had heart issues in mid 50’s (chest pains after a good meal, rapid heart beats, missing heart beats). Began walking without getting bored by playing golf 3-4-5 times every week.
In just 2 years my heart was working like a 25 year old. I quit golf atage 75, now it is just rapid walks on a treadmill set 2 deg up, and carrying light wrist weights. Still no heart issues at age 82. This video is from my 81st birthday.

I had a mitral valve replaced in 1990 with a mechanical valve.. Billions of heart beats later I am still going strong at 75!
I am also on high doses of warfarin.

Glad to see how they have improved the operations in the last 30 years.

“...replaces the diseased aortic valve with the patient’s own living pulmonary valve...”

What replaces the pulmonary valve?
