Everything went well. Surgery lasted 41/2 hrs. I was lucky and was able to have valve replaced with minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Peter Knight and his team at Strong memorial Hospital, Rochester NY were BEYOND fantastic! Consider myself very very lucky!
They released you quickly! Congrats on successful surgery and on coming home. Hope your recovery is very smooth!

So happy for you.
Glad to hear all went well Mary.. Prayers for a successful recovery
That's great news that you were "let out" from the hospital so fast!! Did you end up with a tissue or on-x valve? You had your surgery a day before I did. Did you have a ministernotomy?
Hi Bob. Sorry I haven't logged into this site in a few weeks. I have the on-x valve. And no I have a three inch incision and right side of chest. How abut you?
