I inherited my late fathers bicuspid Aortic valve condition, it killed him in 83 aged just 44, I had a mechanical valve implant (St Judes mechanical, Pyrolytic Carbon valve) CABG & AVR, along with a triple bypass in July last year 2023. 4 weeks later I had a heart attack which nearly killed me and I was de fibbed back to life and underwent another emergency procedure to fix the problem which was caused by the first procedure. 11 months on today and I'm fitter and stronger than I was before. I'd like to thank all the NHS staff at Warrington cardiac care unit, Liverpool heart and chest unit and my heart surgeon Mr Muir.

I had a bicuspid valve that was narrowing over time. I was pushed for surgery and regrettably was persuaded to get a bioprothetic via OHS.
I have never recovered from the surgery and wish that I had pushed much harder for the TAVR.
My MIL had a TAVR in 2017 and made a marvellous recovery.
I am wallowing at about 60% of my pre-surgical capacity.
I had a Edwards Inspiris model 600a.
I just call it a donkey valve.

I have liver cirrhosis. My doctors said TAVR needed due to compromised liver patients and dangers with the heart machine. I've got an Evolut valve now. Bicuspid valve repaired,
lovin life.
