Had my surgery done at UTSW - 2 weeks from diagnosis to replacrment

[Guest]

Aortic valve replaced! I had the mini thoracotomy procedure on the 12th with a bovine valve. I went home the morning of the 15th. Walked 2.5 miles today. Deep breathing on the right sucks still and unsure why such problems sleeping, but able to go out and shop and eat etc. already so I cannot recommend this procedure enough. Just thought I need an update since y'all were very helpful to me.

Could you explain a little about your particular bav and the procedure? Was it minimally invasive? Where’d you get it done?
