Hi,I'm new here, my husband had open heart surgery in Dec, he was in a coma, we near enough lost him :( a lot was wrong but a lot was corrected, including an aortic valve replacement, hemiarch replacement, double bypass, other valves changed and his tissues grafted on to the new aortic valve, however recovery was going very well up until a couple of weeks ago he started getting chest pains, then on the 3rd of April he had a mini heart attack,is this common ?? Does it mean he is at higher risk of having another heart attack,due to the covid I can't visit him and he suffers with memory

Sorry, I hit the wrong button. I don't know if a mini heart attack is common, but I am thinking of you and him at this time. I now live a life actually more active than before my operation, and I hope that he does too.

My very best wishes to both of you.
