Sonia Gilsilvetti I am holder of St Jude mechanical valve placed after non successful minimal invasive approach( with intraoperative femoral injury). Early after surgery I developed abnormal ventricular contractions and a clot was discovered in the annulus of the valve 3 months later. Currently not only the clot, but scar tissue and a leak is present. I am heading for additional experts opinion. Medical opinions head towards avoid another surgery but what I don't know what to expect in terms to my realistic situation if the problem is not fixed.

Joanna Prisiajniouk Sorry to hear about this minimally invasive approach that did not work. Because of that they decided on the mechanical valve? What happened? Did they do the standard sternotomy approach? Hope you find your answers...I would suggest you find a teaching hospital (hospital universities) as they seem to have more experience with tricky cases and have up to the current medical approaches. Prayers and many blessings to you!

Sonia Gilsilvetti Thanks so much for your comments and prayers. Mechanical valce was decided since the beginning, but things didn't go as planned in the operating room. Yes I ended with four incisions for the same surgery.
