Dr. Vinay Badhwar is a heart valve expert having performed over 3,000 heart valve repair and replacement operations during his career.
Top image shows bicuspid valve in Severe Aortic Stenosis taken by surgeon during surgery, and bottom picture shows new tissue valve placed. My surgeon said I came through with flying colors, and was up and walking 48 hours post surgery in the Cardiac ICU. It's crazy that it's only been one week, I came home last night and feel great, minus the discomfort and soreness.
Question for everyone: How long did the pain & discomfort last and how long was the need for pain meds?
Thank you for ALL the well wishes and prayers, this page saved me pre surgery from a lot of anxiety. Thank you everyone!
