It’s like a group of old men getting together every night to congratulate each other on having the exact same philosophy and opinions and telling the same old boring jokes while passerby’s giggle and thank God they aren’t at those get togethers. Lol

To any “newbie” coming here expecting objective discourse, you may want to move on. The philosophy of those on this board is that the only people who have any knowledge worth hearing are those who are not “newbies” to this forum. Also do not dare say anything negative about mechanical valves...

I see so this is a good ole boys club and no one is to take issue or debate popular people. Nice Pell. Btw I think you have way too much free time on your hands.

Chuck, That seems to be a nice book you wrote but way too long to read for most people. If anyone is lashing out it is obvious to any half way intelligent reader that you are the one doing the name calling and lashing out. Merry Christmas.

Anti-Vaxers? Lol Is that like anti-soinachers? People who don’t like spinach. I’m a Trump supporter does that make me a trumper? What are Biden supporters? Biders?

When you speak of “old” men, speak for yourself. “Old” is not a well defined term, and quite frankly I am no old man. I’ll put my athletic skills up against most 40 year olds.

Most valve surgery patients aren’t on this board and I can now see why. It’s all one sided. In addition to the very slanted and biased views, the name calling alone would make most people leave. To that end, Ciao!

Coming from someone who calls people on here “old” men and newbies I highly doubt your posts will be taken seriously.

Lastly you are not the final arbiter for the majority of mechanical valve recipients. Did you take a pole of every one of them to come up with the conclusion that the majority of them don’t have issues? Come on man!

You have zero experience with a tissue valves yet you come here and make claims about how long they last simply because you can use google like all of us here. Cardiologist after cardiologist will try to steer people away from mechanical valves for good reason even for those who are younger yet...

I agree it’s sad when people make uninformed choices and wind up stuck with a valve that keeps them up all night or requires ingesting rat poison the rest of their life. Btw OHS is not required again for the new tissue valves as they have built in TAVR compatibility. There are many many...

This is obviously a mechanical valve site with members who refuse to acknowledge the scores of complaints from mechanical valve recipients. In addition the outright biased against tissue valves is apparent and for obvious reasons.. You already have mechanical valves ticking away in your chests...

Well it breaks my heart when I hear or read about someone who decided on a mechanical valve just to find out the day after surgery how difficult and complicated taking blood thinners can be (for them) or the ticking noise was louder than they thought and/or know one told them about it. Yes...

What breaks your heart about people who get mechanical valves?

Remember that the ticking noise may not be an issue for you but I’ve read comments from people who said the mechanical valve had ruined their social life because of the noise. Again let’s present ALL of the information not just one’s opinion.

I’m glad we had this discussion😁😁😁 may you all have long, healthy and fulfilling lives. God bless.

I have a wife too and she was dead against a mechanical valve because of the reasons I already stated.

Also it is not factual that the newer valves or even the older tissue valves will begin to decline at 10 years. The Edward’s Resillia Inspiris has a projected lifespan of 25-30 years. You may doubt that but that’s what the reputable company that manufactured the valve states. Also many many...

To anyone trying to decide what type of valve to get, just make sure you look at all the pros and cons of every valve then make your decision. Don’t ever look through the lense of rose colored glasses but remember that once the surgery is done you must live with your choice. I think many of us...
