Hi Folks.
Today I was discharged from the hospital where I have had a redo Op on my unexpectedly early deteriorated Hancock v23 bioprosthetic aortic valve (9 months). The 2nd Op took less time, but has been more traumatic and painful due to the extra two suction catheter tubes driven under my right lung. The surgeon took out what looked like a highly dysfunctional valve and replaced it with a St.Jude. One of the surgeons who later came to visit me in my Post-Op room told me that the valve was indeed in pretty bad shape and was sent to the manufacturer for inspection. As both pre-Op TTE and TEE had indicated, the reason behind the failure (or should I say fiasco) was purely a structural one, not attributable to any pannus, trombus or endocarditis. Now, I waiting for the results to come out. Thanks to fellow forumers here who offered symphathy and moral support.
