Survey: when did you receive your valve/repair?

[Mary]

John and Joann suggested in another thread that someone start a survey to see what year members received a valve or repair. For the sake of simplicity, let's include the Ross procedure as a replacement.
I'm making this an open thread so everyone can view the results. I am also making it so you can chose more than one year for those who have undergone several replacements.
I've had to group years since we are only given 10 options for voting, so everyone will probably want to post a reply with the year besides voting for a group of years.
Here we go!

It was April 21, 2003. I had my aortic valve replaced with a St Jude Mechanical 27mm valve and had a 6cm ascending aortic aneurysm repaired.

My Replacement Date

My Replacement Date

My Aortic Valve was replaced September 5, 2007 with an On-X 21 mm. Yup, just over 3 months out and feeling pretty darn good!

This survey is a great idea. I think it would also be nice to know who has which kind of valve.

There have also been times when I've wondered if there was a way to find other valvers in Utah. Can anyone help me?

Dick's AVR with an Edwards Magna valve was December 18, 2003- can't believe it is almost 4 years!

My husband had bicuspid aortic valve repair and ascending aortic aneurysm repair on September 27th, 2007 at Cleveland Clinic. We are blessed!

 

[Susan BAV]

My bicuspid aortic valve was replaced in the fall of 2003 with a porcine valve.

An accompanying condition, a coarctation of the aorta, was repaired in 1979.

Before the bicuspid was replaced, there was concern that my mitral valve would also need replaced; but happily for me that didn't end up being necessary.
