Had my bicuspid aortic valve replaced with the inspires resilia valve. I was in ICU for 5 days and 3 days in the cardiac unit. My valve is treated for calcium build up and is designed to accommodate another valve inside of it through the groin in the future. Im 5 weeks out and happy I got through it without any problems.
New to this group and going into surgery May 23 to replace my bicuspid aortic valve.

Gerald Poulton Hey Jeff, I am 5 years in after operation, had the same issue, i chose the Edwards bovine, didnt want the blood thinners, had my op at 65 years old and so far great. I was in good physical health and the process was relatively painless and for me the worry was way worse then the operation and recovery. Its hard but stay positive and take care of you ! All the best my friend

Rose Madura Jeff, welcome to the site. I had a bicuspid aortic valve as well but didn't know it until my surgeon told me after the surgery. It was in pretty bad shape. Be thankful you can have it replaced. The doctors do this every day and the odds are in your favor. God bless you on this journey. Please keep is posted.

Heather Kelly Hello Jeff! I totally agree with Gerald the worry is way worse than the surgery. Listen to what they tell you and you will do great. I am 51 and also had a BAV. I live in Inverness FL so we are practically neighbors. I had surgery this year 2/4/22 in Nashville TN and recovery was pretty straight forward. Walking is key and you will be back to a life with more energy very soon. God bless and keep us posted!
