Thus, I can't quote you any specific statistics about the potential success of surgery or her quality of life because I don't know enough information about your mother. Answers to these questions also depend on the severity of the aortic stenosis. If aortic stenosis progresses, then your mother could develop symptoms like fainting spells, chest pain, or heart failure. Therefore, I suggest that you and your mother meet with her cardiologist to have a comprehensive discussion. I hope you find this information useful.
