    1Year Anniversary Pig Valves

    Hello again to everyone and hope everyone is doing fine. I have had my pig valves for mitral and tricuspid for a year now and am doing great so far. Had two brain bleeds on warfarin so they switched me to eliqis, which is very expensive, but brain bleeds have resolved and doing okay on it. God...

    My double heart valve replacment surgery update

    Glad you’re okay. I had a double valve surgery on June 18th and also got tissue valves for mitral and tricuspid. I did have a stroke the very next day but thank God it was a small one. Still have a numb big toe on left foot and three numb fingers on the left hand. But coming along just fine.

    Well surgery is over but had a stroke so plenty on PT and OT going on. The doctor says it was just a little clot on ct scan and said it is rare for someone to get a day after surgery

    Hi vitdoc. My mechanical mitral valve has a leak, the sutures have pulled away from the valve, so they say.
