Heart valve repair ?
- Thread starter charlie hotel lima
- Start date
I had a heart murmur and had mitral valve repair surgery performed in 2001 at Southwestern Hospital in Dallas TX. Surgery was pretty routine. It was done on a Monday morning. By Thursday I was eating whataburgers that my wife snuck in to the hospital. Discharged on Friday, and in church on Sunday. Then my company made me stay home another 5 weeks because it was open heart surgery.
Had my aortic done in 2005. Did it monday home Friday. Friend had his done last month and they went in through the leg and he was home the next day
Dad just had a TAVR done a few weeks ago. Grandpa had the same 3 years ago. Both had aortic stenosis (looks like I’m on the clock for 2049). They were simple and relatively easy for them. Overnight stay and out the next day.
Thanks! Have them PM me and we can set up a time to chat…Psilloh1 might know a little bit on the subject
My preacher had valve replacement two years ago and has done fine
Everything he's heard on here and by a couple guys he works with, feels like it should be fine.
My Dad has a valve replaced with a pig valve a few years back. He had it done at the Medical Center in Macon (first mistake). They tested him and determined he was not allergic to heparin, so they poured it in him by the gallon to prevent clotting.
Turns out he was allergic to heparin. Multiple clots, partial infection, he was in the hospital for two weeks. And now the valve leaks. Do your research on the surgeon and hospital.

Emory is a TOP Cardiac Care hospital in the SE USA. You or your friend should be in good hands there. My Mom is 92 almost 93 Thanks to Dr Clements there.
