Hi Krisila,
In January 1988, I received a St. Jude Valve replacement for my bicuspid aortic valve at Hopkins. Since then, I've been on Warfarin without problems and lead a busy life. In May 2017, I underwent aortic aneurysm repair at Hopkins, and the surgeon confirmed my St. Jude Valve looked healthy. Did you have your St. Jude Valve replaced because of issues with it, or was there another reason? You've been through a lot, but I'm glad to hear you're doing well.
