Case Discussion

Had this case recently, I'll fill in details as we go along. 72 yr old scheduled for a single level laminectomy. Hx of OSA, HTN and known AS. TTE from two years ago shows moderate AS, AVA of 1.2 and preserved EF. METs are limited by chronic back pain. Able to golf but needs a cart to get around since he can't walk. Do you proceed with surgery or repeat TTE?
