Dear Adam,

I had open heart surgery Sept. 1995 in New Haven, CT……my Aortic valve was replaced with a St. Jude mechanical valve that is now starting to falter. I was scheduled for a “redo” that was cancelled just before the surgery due to the fact that my surgeon did not feel that my condition was “critical enough” to do the surgery. I am 81 years old and feel rather certain that my age had something to do with that decision.

I have a copy of your book but it, of course, does not contain information that I can use for my situation. Have you acquired any information about replacement of previous mechanical Aortic valves?

Many thanks!

Barbara Barry
