My husband went through the pre-admission procession today for his heart cath which is Monday, Feb 11. Depending on what they find Monday, the surgery is Tuesday or Wednesday. He's pretty nervous and still in denial as to whether this is really necessary. One question: I've never heard any statistics on how serious or dangerous AVR is, compared to bypass surgery which seems to be a very common procedure. I've only heard of one or two valve replacements (other than on this forum). Thanks for any input.
