I am having my AVR done by Dr. Gillinov at The Cleveland Clinic where he will be performing the procedure minimally invasive via a "mini-sternotomy". I am aware that this is better because of less trauma and bleeding, less pain, and a faster recovery. I would like to know if anyone has had their aortic valve replaced in this fashion and how it went for them after the procedure and during recovery. Thanks!
