Hi...I'm 60...having a mitral replacement mechanical, poss aortic repair....but want mechanical for both if necessary. I don't want to do this again...and I plan on living 20+ years if God will's it! You can now monitor your Coumadin level at home. I know 2 relatives that have had valves fixed. The porcine scarred over in 2 years...had to be redone. My nephew has had a mechanical since 12....35 now...very athletic....been on Coumadin all these years successfully!
