my mom was on warfarin and it it a real pain.
I fought for about a year to get my Aortic Valve and had tissue. I could not have TAVR because of severe obstructions and calcification. Rush University finally came around and then after telling me i was 3-4 years from Valve Replacement said i needed an emergency Open Heart.
I did my homework and found Miniman Evasive Aortic Valve Replacement @ the University of Chicago & Dr. Balkhy who is pioneering putting the operation on the Devinci Robot.
I am saddened to see so many people get open heart when it is no longe needed except for Lung & Heart Transplants. It is not new, was started in 1996 and Dr Balkhy had been doing it since 2002. But it has not been well reported.
Now, if i need the valve replaced, they can do TAVR. So people comment not want another operation it is through the arm or groin and is a procedure not cutting. Even so minimal evasive or robotic they are doing one person regardless the age. A Dr doing this a Miami University had a youtube video of a 90-year-old practicing physician having a valve replaced. So even if TAVR gets ruled out there are other options other than open heart surgery.
I am not sure what operation you are getting. I was standing by the end of the day with my operation.
I cringe when I see all those Heart Pillows, as that is torture, and these options stop the pain and trauma from surgery and quicken the recovery.
Best wishes ..
