[QUOTE="Ley253, post: 4572656, member: 4681"] I had my aortic valve replaced some years ago, cant remember when. Nothing to worry about, Op in the late afternoon, woke up in intensive care at about 0200, went straight back to sleep. Woke up again at 0730 ish, was given a check over, and cup of tea( which came straight back up, and went into the physios pocket! Even she had to laugh, on the way to change her coat!) Drains removed, got up, and walked to my ward bed, and was wheeled back to the ward.out of bed later that day, and walking about. Did the stairs test three days later, and could have gone home,but warfarin dose would not stabilise, that took a week. Back to near normal in three weeks. Nothing special about me, except I had never smoked. Valve is metal, and people can hear it, I cant, but I did have a choice, metal or tissue, I chose metal as its far longer lived. I was told it would be renewed at 70, but it seems they dont do that now, had an ECG last year due to driving licence requirements, and all is good. Hope that helps put you friends mind at rest.
