This book has helped over 47,000 patients and caregivers from diagnosis to recovery.
He received a 27mm bovine valve, a new aortic stem and ascending aorta, and replaced the lower portion of his aortic arch.
The most bothersome part of home recovery- he had huge (3 inch) blisters on his feet due to swelling so while that skin heals it has been tricky trying to get shoes to fit so he could walk outside. He's up to a 30 min half mile twice a day- still with his walker for confidence and support. Sleeping through the night with no meds, great blood pressure, appetite is back, weight back to pre surgery, he's never complained of any chest pain except when he sneezes or coughs. Still keeping an eye on effusion and kidney function. All in all our one week check in was thumbs up!
