Rajan with Dr. Anders Jeppsson<\/p>\nHearing from patients all around the world is one of my favorite parts of running this website.\u00a0 For example, I was so happy to receive the following note from Rajan, an aortic valve replacement patient, from Iceland.<\/p>\n

Dear Adam,<\/p>\n
Greetings from Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland.<\/p>\n
I had my aortic heart valve replacement surgery here in Reykjav\u00edk at Iceland\u2019s General Hospital (Landsp\u00edtali)<\/a> on Monday, Feb 27, 2023.\u00a0 My surgeon was Dr. Anders Jeppsson of Sweden.<\/p>\n I was born with a bicuspid valve<\/a> that was diagnosed in Palo Alto in 2014.\u00a0 Last October, my Icelandic cardiologist determined that severe stenosis<\/a> had set in and recommended an intervention even though I was asymptomatic right until surgery<\/a>.\u00a0 I chose the Edwards INSPIRIS RESILIA biological valve<\/a>.\u00a0 The operation went fine.\u00a0 Landsp\u00edtali provided real-time updates to my wife via SMS.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I was placed one night in the ICU, then transferred to the general ward. It is Day 4 now post surgery and things are looking up. All vital parameters are normal. Discharge scheduled for Monday.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I can\u2019t thank you enough for the magnificent resource you have put together.<\/p>\n You are an example of the inherent purest goodness in human nature.<\/p>\n Rajan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":36377,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bicuspid-aortic-valve"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36320"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36320\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42876,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36320\/revisions\/42876"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![](\"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/Images\/INSPIRIS_RESILIA-Aortic-Valve.jpg\")
