Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a treatment “to replace an aortic valve that is narrowed and doesn’t open fully,” according to the Mayo Clinic.
Aortic valves manufactured from cow or pig heart tissue are used to replace damaged ones during TAVR. Spinal stenosis, which happens when the space within the backbone is too tiny,

Her medical issues are affecting her acting career in a recent interview with The Telegraph. “I want to play roles that don’t require me to use a wheelchair, but I’m just not strong enough,”
Margolyes said. Her health problems are “limiting and depressing,” she added. The actress said that she believes her life is coming to an end.
“I’m reluctant to quit performing when you know you don’t have much time left and that you’re likely to pass away in the next five or six years, if not sooner. It’s very enjoyable,” she said.
