During my visit with my surgeon he gave me lots to think about!!
He told me that there is a very real possibility that I might need a pacemaker. He said that the area near the aortic valve is the area of "conduction" and sometimes the electical system gets messed up by the operation, requiring a pacemaker.
Does anyone know how true this is and how often it is necessary to install a permanent pacemaker? I know that this is just a minor thing in the "bionic man" scope of things but still would like to know as much as possible.
Thanks,
