I've been concentrating in the valve selection forum for the past month trying to decide which way to go. I met with Dr Hummel in Ft Myers yesterday and after talking to him, the decision seemed easy. I decided on a tissue valve and he said it would probably be an 'Edwards' valve. The hospital is just now getting ready to bring in their first group of St Jude tissue valves and I may be the first to get one. My AVR is set for Sept 4, 2008.
I've known my entire life I would need to get this done someday, but when the actual date was set, the reality set in.
I have learned a lot from everyone concerning valves choices and such. Now it's time to move to the pre and post op forums to learn the next steps. Thanks to all, I enjoy learning from experienced experts such as you all. Keep up the good work.
