I have an edwards inspires tissue and it is probably the best bet. I had the AvR in May 2020 when the NHS had closed for all such operations. I paid a fortune, but it was life or death. The relevance is that I had top surgeons and they recommended the Edwards. The valves are being updated all the time. Best wishes
Hi there Presely and hope you’re doing ok waiting for your operation. And at least you have a date. I had the same heart valve (also I see we are around same age) - my AVR was only done 3 months ago and so far so good, fingers crossed 🤞🏻 😉! As Colin (Blackcatsooty) has said it is one of the newest tissue valves available and from all that I have read, very good. Also if your surgeon has recommended it well that’s another plus. Where are you having your operation? Wishing you all the best
Hiya, thank you for sharing your experience its reassuring to hear that its working well for you so far. I am having my operation Morriston Swansea where did you have yours.My original surgeon is unavailable for 3 months but i have been switched to another surgeon at short notice. Hope all will go well.
Hi Jon - am sure all will go well and I would imagine your new surgeon is just as good. I had mine at The Harefield hospital- originally was going to be The Brompton but at the last minute there was a space at The Harefield and as they wanted to get me in sooner rather than later apparently after some tests, it was there. My surgeon works between the two hospitals as they’re linked. Keep us up to date with your progress.
Hello sam, i have decided to go with the inspiris valve, i have no symptoms at all so feel a bit of a fraud, nice to hear that your doing well. Cheers Presely.
