I remember Ross, nice bloke. He'd left "here" by that time and I met him "over there". IIRC he survived that event and it was a GI bleed that got him in the end.

I understand why you'd feel that way. I wonder what the "issue" is with the repair that they don't want to fix it in those circumstances ...

a great idea, but she's dead ... "My parents and brother are long dead; my other brother is ill and in the USA and I couldn't count on most friends " Dead ... they're all dead ... =newarrior&o=relevance']he's told us this for years now ... sometimes he even replies to himself to tell...

welcome ... I myself prefer to focus my efforts on helping people that are seeking (actual) help. Best Wishes

just letting you know, that this guy has a long history (since day one basically, so nearly 5 years) of this behaviour. He's an attention seeker and a stupid one at that. The thing he's really afraid of is being booted off a forum (which he's informed us of in the past) because then he doesn't...

If there is no reason to disturb the valve they are left in place. However as I understand it, there are situations where it's faster (surgically) to repair the aneurysm by replacing the whole valve with one that has a factory pre attached aortic graft. Every minute of reduction of bypass pump...

Mechanical valves don't tear. Bio valves do, and you can read of cases posted here. There is "in vitro" testing done where a valve is connected up and operated at high speed for extended durations. They are periodically examined microscopically and measured. St Jude for instance has been...

Hey, glad to see you emerge! its hard to describe it ... stay away from comedy for a little while ... ;-) I'm pretty sure you will be too. Having had at least two of these I can't understand those yet to have their first snuggling up to a choice which makes it certain they'll have at least a...

Hi not having had a second opinion I've not had anything to add to your actual question, but this: sounds like the right stuff Best Wishes

they go one better ... its called Pyrolytic Carbon and that's what mechanical valves are made out of (these last 20 or so years) :)

Wow from 12 years here that's about the only time I've ever read anyone get that ... fantastic. I think that it must be systemic down there at the Mayo, because Dr Schaff is from the Mayo. Heartening stuff

Good morning welcome I would expect the doctors and system around you knows this, but as you suggest its is generally like this you cease ACT you have the surgery you resume ACT they may decide to give you a shot or two until your INR comes back up, but aince you are on Acenocoumarol they...

love the good news stories (and the follow ups so that newbies can see you do survive and its not just a flat earth conspiracy) Best Wishes

Good morning for what its worth I agree with everything said above, however I'm not sure if this is already well addressed so: this is the usual approach. Until that point awareness and monitoring is (in the main) all that's needed. its a probability ... there are situations where after the...
