Earlville, NY | Has anyone out there had any kind of open-heart surgery? Was it successful? How long for recovery? I go back to my cardiologist next week to see if I need to get my aortic valve replaced soon. It's been leaky for many years ( due to a con-genitive heart defect; a bicuspid valve) and they are worried it's causing my heart to get too big. I've had high BP for many years, and minor heart attack a few years ago. A valve replacement is major surgery, I'm worried about the recovery time, not to mention it is a moderately risky operation, and I'm only 42, with a pair of little boys. Thanks for any comments! | |
