Joaquin Provencio, an admitted horse fanatic, needed a new heart valve. But his New Mexico doctors wouldn't
operate because of his age. "I thought my life was over," he says. But then he came to The Heart Hospital Baylor
Plano, where he enrolled in a clinical trial for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement which allows surgeons
to replace aortic valves without open-heart surgery. Afterwards, Joaquin was surprised at his quick recovery.
"I was in the hospital three days. I couldn't believe it," he says. Now he's back in the saddle. "Soon I'll be out
roping with my friends again," he says. "I have to thank The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano for saving my life."
Clinical trials now available for patient referrals. For more information, call 469.814.4720.
