Thanks. I’m going to have Aortic Valve replacement at MD Anderson Cooper hospital in a couple of weeks. I just had a Catheterization yesterday to explore my problems in my heart. No blockages - only 1 artery at 20%. I’m a 61 year old male who has been suffering with low diastolic pressure for several months now. I’ve lost 150lbs on Healthy Keto over the last 3 years - that’s really helped. I went from 321lbs to 170lbs.
WOW!!! Congratulations on the amazing weight loss as you prepare for aortic valve replacement surgery. Our thoughts and prayers are with you for your upcoming procedure!!! Keep us updated!!!
Thank you so much for this video. Im scheduled to have OHS for AVR ( Aortic Valve Replacement ). Seeing all your videos is very informative and helpful. I am 69 year old retired ICU nurse and have never been in hospital overnight before. So my anxiety and emotions are all over the place. Thank you so much for having this site to visit. Really appreciate you and your efforts.

A patient rated pain of about 3 or 4 on the first day or two? Can that possibly be accurate? I understand the staff doesn’t want to scare potential patients it please don’t sugarcoat the first 3 days after. A 3 or a 4 to me sounds more like a mild headache
Hi Pete, Great question. Each patient is unique and may experience differently. That said, there have been many advances to help patients during the early recovery. Have you watched this video? It might help you learn more about innovations and technologies and processes to minimize discomfort post-op. We hope it helps you prepare for surgery. ua-cam.com/video/BxDtIONg9Hc/v-deo.html
@@HeartValveSurgery extremely interesting video. Especially for a sternotomy. Hard to actually believe but I can see how it’s possible from the steps taken. Should I ever require a sternotomy I will show this information to the surgical staff to ensure they are aware of these advances and have adopted them. Many thanks
