My dad (76yrs young) had a hernia operation Monday 8/14. He has a St Judes valve & has been on coumadin for the past 10 years. Prior to surgery he was advised by his cardiologist to supplement his coumadin with lovenox injections. Approximately 5 days later we brought him to the hospital because of significant swelling & obvious signs of bleeding. He has now been in the hospital for four days & according to his Hematocrit labs is still bleeding. The surgeon wants to operate again to tie off the bleeder & to remove part of the hematoma. We are concerned that it is too soon after his surgery last week for him to undergo another one. You guys here at vr.com were incredible to me prior to my surgery & I hope that someone in here can give me some advice on this situation. Thanks.
