Surgery soon
I was told I would have to wait until October - January for my
valve
replacement
but things have moved quickly in the past couple of weeks. I am now being admitted on Monday with surgery on the Tuesday. Good to know there is support here for afterwards as well as before.

Warfrin and flying
Hi, off on holiday for the first time since a stent and mitral
valve
replacement
and being given Warfrin, I love to fly and this is only a 4 hour flight. I’ve waited a year before taking a flight. I’m excited and scared all rolled into one. INR is stable.

second valve replacement
I had an aortic root and valve replaced in 2017 (mechanical valve) after combination of poor valve function and swelling aorta. This problem was found during a transasophogeal echo in advance of an ablation to tackle bouts of disabling AF that were only ever resolved by electrocardioversion. In the last

Decision to make
Hi, I’ve been told I need to have a
valve
replacement
and can’t make my mind up between a mechanical
valve
and Ross procedure. I’m 46 so if I have the Ross procedure I’ll need to get another
replacement
in 20 years or so.

Synthetic mytral valve
Hello, Soon I will have mytral
valve
replacement
. I'm 56 female and lead a very active life. My concern is not so much getting back to fitness after surgery but more how much warfarin really affects day to day life.

Which option for surgery
My dad has been waiting for open heart surgery for a
valve
replacement
for 2 years. He is now faced with a second option, TAVI, rather than open heart. Does anyone have any experience or helpful advice? We are researching for him so that he can make an informed decision.

Mechanical valve
Good to hear for some people the
valve
replacement
has been extremely successful. I'm hoping to have minimally invasive surgery but don't know if it will be possible. Apparently, they can try minimally invasive, but have a team ready to "crack" the ribs if necessary. Any experience?
