Hello Alice,
I had the valve operation done in Feb 2012 by Miss Kornaszewska. My op was tremendously successful. I've written about it several times, both on this blog and my own site. If you want to talk about it, either by Skype or phone, send me a PM and I'll give you contact details.
The link for the first of my articles on this blog is:-

If looking at my site, read the oldest articles first.
Best of luck to your sister,

I hope everything goes well and your sister is a suitable candidate. I had valves fitted in July and am definetly feeling the benefit!
I also had LVR valves fitted AT The Heath by Margaret Kornaszewska, I think about Oct 2011 .... (can't recall precise date, I'm on holiday!!!).
Unfortunately they made very little difference to me ... a couple of years later a consultant up at Royal Brompton was reviewing my notes & made the comment that he thought I was not really an ideal candidate for the valves & he was surprised Margaret had actually carried out the procedure on me. He thought I was a far more suitable candidate for LVR Coils.
I know of one other member here who had the valves fitted in Bristol & they made very little, if any? change to him.
They are not the magic silver bullet for everyone.
