Has anyone had the Ozaki procedure for Aortic Valve repair in the UK?

I have been recently diagnosed with mild to moderate aortic regurgitation which is extremely frightening.

I have spinal osteoporosis so am very worried about surgery and the effect on my spine. I am unable to take anticoagulants so am looking at the option of valve repair. I have multiple allergies so the Ozaki procedure that uses the patients own pericardial tissue to repair the valve seems the best option. Is there anyone in the community that has experienced this procedure? What was the operation and recovery experience? .Thank you
