aortic valve replacement


Jun 30, 2022, 4:59 PM

The heart catheterization went well. All passages are open to allow insertion of the aortic valve on July 12th. Feeling great.

I had my aortic valve replaced with a mechanical valve in 2013. You will do fine. Exercise and pt for a period of time and you will be good as new. One draw back, with a mechanical valve you will be placed on blood thinners. The other route is a pig valve which does not last as long as the mech. valve. You also develop a strong desire to go out and roll in the mud.

My Uncle had a pig valve installed and was Coumadin the rest of his life. The pig valve worked well enough for him and it was not how he died. The hospital sent a guy in with a mechanical valve to answer any questions and remember believing I could hear his valve working.

I have already been on blood thinners foe several years due to AFIB problems, so I have learned to handle that.

Sounds like it is being inserted via cathederization


Jun 30, 2022, 10:36 PM

instead of full blown open heart surgery. They cracked my chest open and did open heart surgery when they replaced my aortic valve with a pig valve a few years ago. When it wears out, they will replace it with a mechanical valve via cathederization, which allows for a much easier and faster recovery.

Good luck to you! You will be in my prayers. I bet you will feel better once it's done. Keep us posted.
