No need to worry geff. There is a low mortality rate associated with the Bentall procedure. The early mortality rate in the study by Gelsomino et al (21) was only 5.5% and Benke et al (22) reported a mortality rate of 3.4%. Yakut (23) performed aortic root replacement in 80 patients using a...

Excellent. May will be 13 years since I got my AVR Bovine value done at Cleveland Clinic. I am now 65. Have CHF also. I still work because I have to. I hope to get a few years more before they say another one is needed. Did you get a tissue or mechanical valve? All the best to you!

My advice to you and everyone is: get the best care you can find. Not all cardiologist are the same so search out the best. I went to Cleveland Clinic for my AVR back in 2011. I am 65 now 12 years later and I am glad I did. I am now followed by the team at UT Southwestern in Dallas...

I've had PVC's for years ,and to be honest I can never tell. It's just an extra beat every so often Nothing to be done about it. I had AVR 12 years ago. And I now suffer from CHF. I still get around fairly well, but not like I used to. I hope to live long enough for my second valve...

All the best to you Gail. I am going on 12 years on my bovine aortic valve. I think it will be time soon for number two. I am 65 now. I have CHF also so not sure. I go with the flow. You got this. Stay strong!

Diedra, all the best to you! You got his so just let them do their miracle work. ;-)

There may be some help thru health and human resources. Contact your local Department of Health and Human Resources and or Cholic Charities. You will get thru this and you won't feel much like company for a week or so. Good luck.

Hokie, I had my AV replaced when I was 52. I am 65 now. I went with the tissue valve which is what my Surgeon from Cleveland Clinic favored. The down side is having to go threu a re do if you live that long. Life span 10-20 years they say on tissue valves. They are does the transcatheter...

That's unfortunate. You experience is clearly not common. CC is known as the finest heart felicity in the world. They did me right 11 years ago. Best of luck yo you Karen.

Hi Karen, I had OHS to replace my aortic valve back in 2011 at Cleveland Clinic. I received nothing but the finest care from all I encountered. They truly are the best in the field, and when it comes to your heart you want the best. My Surgeon was Lars Svensson. I had employer sponsored...

Kyle, we trust your surgery went well . let us know how you are doing? All the best!

1. How long was the recovery after the surgery? 2. If you had tissue valve replacement, how long did it last? 3. If you were in my shoes, which valve option you will prefer? I would like to have as much back to normalcy as possible (including staying fit using weights if possible). I was 53...

May 11 2011 I had my Aortic Valve replaced at Cleveland Clinic. Still working well but now my mitral valve is leaking. Always something. 😩
