If you go up to the poll and click on the number of votes in any one of the categories, it drills down into the poll details and you can see who voted for what. Hope that's what you were looking for.

On March 8, 2001 Valluvan Jeevanandam, Chief, Section of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery at The University of Chicago, replaced my Mitral and Aortic valves, with St. Jude Mechanical Aortic Valve 19mm and a St. Jude Mitral Valve 27mm. It's fun being a double clicker!

The majority of members seem to have this information in their signatures. I think that's a good idea because it's a starting place for people who come here looking for information.

On June 2, 2004 I received a 19mm mosaic porcine heart valve. My heart has never beat better.

I had my valve repair 18 months ago in June '06--will get my echo results soon for my 2nd annual test!

August 17, 2004. I had been totally sedated 17 days when I was wheeled into the O.R. for a Mitral Valve replacement -- St. Judes. Fun only because I didn't have any pre-op jitters. More fun because now I lead a normal, healthy life.

Hello, this is my first post here. I am so glad to have found everyone here. I had my surgery December 07, 2006 for Aortic Valve Replacement with a St. Jude. I have had a heart murmur all of my life, and last August was the first time that I went to see a cardiologists just for a checkup/look-over, and got the news that I needed it right away because I had severe stenosis(?) which was very narrow. Surgery was postponed twice(long story) but the third time was the charm.

Mine was a St. Jude's mitral valve August 25th, 2003. Like many others mine was a result of having had rheumatic fever.....a nasty, nasty bug.

I received my valve in May,2005 and a second surgery to fix the first replacement in January, 2006.

Was told I had a heart murmur back in 4th grade (age 10 or so) during routine elementry school physical. Doc said aaaa, you'll grow out of it. Out of sight, out of mind. 35+ years later, surprise mitral valve replacement with St Jude 33mm. Weak and enlarged heart was the result. Coming up on 1 year anniversary Jan 30. I am sure some testing will follow to see how everything is going. Other than that, routine cardio/doc visits show I am doing "ok". I thought I would be better than just 'ok"......Gary
