I am a nursing student in Michigan and I watched a segment on GMA with Dr. Tim about a new valve replacement that is done very much like a cath. No opening of the chest and it was for people not eligable for open heart surgery. I would very much like all that information and any other sources I can find. I have a evidence based presentation to do and I would like to do it on that.  thanks

Dear Tlp1916,

I believe that this is the dotcom article to the procedure that you are referring to: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/OnCall/story?id=6589797&page=1 . Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center has attatched their email address to the end of this article - feel free to email them to learn more about the procedure. In addition there is a link to the clinical trial in the article and links for more information about the heart valve. I hope this is what you were looking for.
