Hello @carlysmith011 and welcome to Connect.

I appreciate your post regarding your valve disorder and the fact that the seriousness of it did not show up on echos. I'm sure that you are glad that you had the heart cath which pointed out the serious nature of the valve problem.

If you are comfortable sharing more, what type of valve surgery did you have?

I ended up getting an Aortic valve repair. I am now currently waiting for my case to be presented at the mayo surgical conference to see if they will do a valve replacement since my valve has again progressed to severe with severe symptoms

May I ask HOW LONG the first one lasted, what it is made of (cow or pig) and if it was open heart or TAVR?
