Pilot (PPL) - Medical Class 3 eval

[mknuppel]

Any small airplane pilots, with a private pilot license, out there that had a mechanical valve replacement? I was wondering if you were still able to pass the class 3 medical evaluation? I know that a sport pilot license is an option. Just wondering what experiences/challenges you faced.

I know A.F. has allowed pilots back: http://www.valvereplacement.org/for...y-With-Artificial-Heart-Valve&highlight=pilot

My son is a commercial pilot, and luckily does not have any valve issues.
