Hi, Steve. You seem to be closely matching my dad's condition. He'll be 62 in April. He has a congenital bicuspid arotic value in critical stenosis. His surgery is planned on April 23rd currently, but we're meeting with another surgeon today. There are SO many options and we're racking our brains. Can I ask what made you choose an animal value? My dad is extremely active- he's a carpenter by trade, works for himself. He's about 5'11, 205 lbs. All of his arteries are clear. First, he's afraid he's not going to wake up from the surgery. Then he's worried about not having the same quality of life, and then it's what value to choose. He knows if he gets an animal value he'll have to go through the surgery again. But he doesn't want to take Coumadin with a mechanical value. Can you give your thoughts?
Thanks so much for your help,
Amanda
