Has Anyone Had Aorta Or Mitral Valve Repair And/or Replacement?
A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭

I had an echo and was told I have two leaky valves. I would like to hear your stories if you went through repair or replacement.

Had TAVR procedure done on January 23 for an aortic valve replacement. Procedure lasted about an hour and there was constant monitoring around the clock for 24 hours at which time I was discharged. Periodic EKGs and echoes were done throughout that time. There was very little bruising and incision sites were virtually gone within a week. There was a follow up with the surgeon at one week and then will be going back in three weeks for another echo and bloodwork and seeing the doctor the week after.
