Dear Nadav,
This thread got very technical, albeit informative, didn't it?
I just want to say one thing: at 27, your tissue valve will last through your childbearing years. I cannot imagine that once you have a baby, you would ever think it wasn't worth the second surgery. I recently had an AVR, full sternotomy and aortic repair with a mechanical valve, but I also have seven kids. I would HAPPILY have the OHS again for any one of them.
