Hi,
I'm sorry to hear you probably need to have valve replacement surgery. It's a lot of information to take in so take your time processing it all.
I would recommend asking your cardiologist about the pros and cons of a mechanical or tissue valve as a starting point.
I had a valve replacement surgery (mitral valve) in January.
Best wishes
Geraldine
