Hey Kim, glad you are on this site. Great wealth of knowledge and really helped calm my fears going into surgery for AVR and aortia graft two weeks ago today.
My cardiologist always told me he would get a tissue valve if he were me then my surgeon recommended a mechincial based on tissue lifespan and my age. I worried, studied, and took his advice. I hear the click when everything is quite, but 2 weeks later I'm getting used to it. It has helped me count my heart rate! Lol I'm still getting adjusted to Coumdan, I've been told by a lot it's just something you manage. Best of luck and prayers.
