Elaine, I read some of your journal, good luck on your upcoming surgery. You will do great. I just wanted you to know that I have a tissue valve, bovine valve, and I'm 66. My surgeon recommended the bovine valve and said it should last 15-20 years and if I should need a replacement that things are progressing so quickly that it wouldn't be OHS. For my surgery this time it was a mini-sternotomy and it was considered minimally invasive. Again good luck and God Bless.
