Surgery scheduled for Sept. 19

[kschroed]

I have come from the surgeon (liked him!) who is doing my mitral valve on this Friday. He says repair is a good possibility, but I told him I want to go biologic valve on plan B. He uses bovine-based valve, so I could get a little cow in my heart!

You guys have been so helpful in helping me to figure all of this out.

I will be back to report on the surgery after I get home and near a computer.

Good Luck on your surgery. I have a bovine aortic valve and it is just ticking away like it should.

Good Luck on your surgery. I have a bovine aortic valve and it is just ticking away like it should.

Do they really tick, or is that just an expression? I thought "no noise" was one of the advantages of a tissue valve.

Kay, here's wishing you flying colors!

Lisa,
At first (like the first few days) I would swear that I could hear the valve ticking, but that stopped after a while. Trust me if had continued my cardio and I would have been having some serious discussions.
