About Me (In My Own Words)
My name is Peter Redhead. I was diagnosed as suffering from severe Aortic stenosis. My aortic valve was replaced at the St. Clair Medical Center on January 14th, 2010, in Port-of-Spain Trinidad. The surgical team successfully replaced my defective Aortic valve with the implant of a Carpentier Braille tissue valve #23, sutured with unpledjeted stiches. The surgical team , lead by Dr. G. Theodori, assisted by Dr. Anand Rampersad and Dr. Natsha Rahaman. Anesthesis Dr. R. Roopchan,and Dr. Chen. An interesting highlight of my surgery is that as one of
Jehovah's Witnesses, the surgery was performed WITHOUT the use of a blood transfusion. I experienced no major complications and and six days after my surgery I was DISCHARGED and was back at home recovering. It has been a little over two months and I am feeling great! I regularly take long walks and even an occasional short jog in between.
