Mr. Somkiert Bingasor has been physically active from a young age but as time passes his body, like many others, deteriorates. The patient came to Vejthani Hospital because he has been experiencing shortness of breath for a few years and he used to get tired easily. Upon medical investigations, Mr. Somkiert has been diagnosed with aortic valve replacement. After a thorough discussion among his family, he underwent Transcatheter aortic valve implantation, one of the safest medical procedures for valve replacement, as the surgeon’s advice. He has been successfully treated without having to undergo an open-heart surgery.
