Many thanks for the happy update. BRAVO!!

Beautiful!

Hello d33gs, It seems you are doing very well, including your best riding time that occurred 6 months post op. And your current alternation between 12K hard walks and 23K bike rides is very impressive indeed. Shooting for "optimal" sounds like a smart plan. Bravo!! Have a wonderful new year!!

I have been impressed and pleased since the day of my surgery in May 2005. Also, I was fortunate to have had an outstanding surgeon who was very experienced with my condition and with valve replacement procedures. He provided excellent guidance before and after the surgery. Best of luck!

My tissue valve dates from May, 2005 -- 17+ years! It is still going strong, as are our two very energetic grandsons! Best wishes to you and your grandson for many more happy years!

Very thoughtful, insightful, and impressive two cents from Mister James!

Very special 11 minutes and 32 seconds from Carl Jung. Highly recommended.

Great story about Lewis Jackson Dean! I'm at 17+ years with my Edwards valve and looking forward to a long and healthy future!

Bravo to John B. for 13 years with his Edwards bovine! Mine dates from May, 2005 (17+ years), and I remain quite active and happy! Best wishes!

I got my valve in May, 2005, along with a graft of the ascending aorta that was discovered during the valve surgery. I was 60 at the time and playing reasonably competitive squash, holding my own against younger players. The bicuspid valve had been diagnosed via a routine echo cardiogram that...

Bravo and congratulations to Duffey! She and I got the same valve in the same year, and I am still as active as ever!

Many thanks for your happy message! Best wishes to your mom and to you as well!

Hello Patrick. I am very glad (but not surprised) that you are happy with your Edwards Bovine. Great to read about your "12 fantastic normal years."

My squash game is on hold for a time, not related to my 2002 heart surgery, but because of a recent hip replacement. I am now taking serious walks to help bring my hip back into shape and looking forward to getting back to the squash courts. As for what I can point to as contributing to the...

On May 2, 2005, my bicuspid aortic valve was replaced by a wonderful, brilliant surgeon with an Edwards Perimount Magna (bovine pericardial), along with a graft of my ascending aorta. If you do the math, I've had the valve for (almost) 16 years. It has served me well through multiple (non...

15 years & 5+ months (5/2/05). Edwards Lifesciences Perimount Magna (bovine pericardial). Also graft of ascending aorta (Boston Scientific). I was age 60 at the time, so I am 75 (almost 76) now. As for Benjamin Franklin, his brilliance also applies to playing squash!

I got my Edwards bovine pericardial valve in May, 2005, so it is 15+ years old. At the same time, I also got a graft of the ascending aorta (Boston Scientific). Both procedures went well. I was 60 years old at the time, so I am now 75. I am quite active, and the valve is still going strong.

Bravo!!

Best wishes across the ocean from New Haven to Athens! Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yes, 2000 mg of amoxicillin should absolutely be taken one hour before a dental visit. Indeed, the dentist should not see you unless you confirm that you have done this. Also, it happens that I had a much-postponed dentist visit this past week after a recommendation from my cardiologist, who...
